. Events - Past and Present . At Tassibee we are always busy. We run a full calendar of classes and courses all year round, some based at our Broom Valley office and other classes are run at different local community venues. We regularly arrange group trips to places like Blackpool, Scarborough, Skegness and London, but have also been as far a field as Pakistan and Egypt. Tassibee also runs swimming and exercise classes all year round, as well as healthy lifestyle groups, girls groups, carers groups, the list goes on and on. Examples below. ................................................................................................................ Planned for the Future . Courses currently running: Please see Courses & Classes page. We will keep this page updated with all current courses, classes and trips as we confirm the details, so keep checking back . ................................................................................................................ Recent . Eid Milan Celebration Tassibee held an Eid Celebration at Oakwood Technology College on Friday the 24th November. The event was a great success, well attended and an enjoyable evening. The staff at Oakwood supported us brilliantly again and helped us organise a widely enjoyed event. There were talks on charitable work for Palestine, readings from the Qu'rain, certificate presentations, and a short play about Hajj, performed by Sapna the young girls group, and of course at the end of the evening plenty of food was served! . ................................................................................................................ Past . Book Lauch Last year Tassibee applied for, and was awarded, a grant from the NLDC (Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities) to fund a project with a group of service users to document their ‘stories’ The book was completed this summer and a book launch was held at The Orient Express restaurant in Masborough on Thursday 20th July, the stars of the book were present as well as staff, volunteers and representatives from some of the many organisations that worked in partnership with Tassibee over the years. The book is called Experiences & Memories by the Women of Tassibee, the book is available from Tassibee’s office in Broom Valley, you can contact us (using any of the details below) to obtain copies from us. The book is free of charge, but donations are always welcome ! More info on the book on the News page. . Fundraiser At Oakwood on 7th January Tassibee staff and volunteers, who consist of a variety of cultures and back grounds, organised an evening dinner event at Oakwood Technology College on the 7th of January to raise fund to help victims of the recent earthquake in Pakistan, in particular to buy wheelchairs for women injured in the disaster. Suitable wheelchairs cost approx £180 each. The women only event included a 3 course meal and activities such as: · 2 Fashion Shows (one of young girls clothes, the other of adult clothes) · Clothes and jewellery stalls · Henna Painting · Kids Games · Guest Speakers · Music & comedy shows · An auction of brand new clothes donated for the cause. With the Christmas holiday the event was arranged and publicised at rather short notice, but the tickets still all sold out well in advance of the day attracting a diverse audience, some of whom travelled a long way to attend the event. As a result the venue was very busy and the capacity crowd responded well to all the arranged activities, and particularly appreciated a comedy sketch about an Asian Chat Show. Over £5,000 was raised on the day and donations are still coming in. Tassibee would like to thank everyone who gave time and money to this cause. Photographs of the event have been added to the Photo page of this site. ................................................................................................................ As well as providing courses we also organise day trips, attend events and arrange our own activity days. Tassibee had a stall at the Rotherham Show again this year and dispite the bad weather, we still managed to raise a respectable sum (for our yet-to-be-chosen charity) through selling donated good and henna painting. Our Sapna Young Girls Group have had a few trips including a trip to Drayton Manor Theme Park at the end of August, which was enjoyed by all that went. Chief Executive, Dr Fairfield, and Chairman of the Doncaster and South Humber Healthcare NHS Trust, Madeleine Keyworth, visited Tassibee on 23rd September for a question and answer session with service users and carers, the visit was well recieved and very sucessful with both guests and members learning a lot from the day.

We arranged a Family Fun Day at Herringthorpe Playing Fields in 2004 to raise money for the Children of Palestine, which was very successful, as we raised a very respectable sum for the charity and everyone had fun.
