PAIWAND means unity, which is our principal aim as an Afghan Community Organisation - to unite our refugee community and improve the quality of our community's life in its new homeland, here in the United Kingdom. That unity is encouraged and expressed through the provision of advice and support in respect of health issues, social services, education, counselling, career advice, translation services, welfare support, advocacy and legal issues and the promotion of Afghan arts, culture and traditions, as well as our native Pashto and Farsi languages - for people of all ages in our community - irrespective of their creed, spiritual and political beliefs or their social background.
Changes to bin collections due to hot weather
To help our collection crews during the current hot weather, bin collections will begin an hour earlier than usual over the coming days. If your collection is due between Friday 11 July and Tuesday 15 July, please make sure you put your bins, sacks and containers out by 6:00am to avoid missed collections. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
