What an amazing day at the Loughborough Mela yesterday in the Town Centre!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to support the event – from the Mayor of Charnwood to our brilliant performers including Dhamak Punjabna Di R & R Entertainments Kadam Verma Lacky C & Jonathan Michael Jones (Jonezy), Dhol Players and Band Baja, Amith Dey, Nrithyam (Nrithyam School of Dance) and the amazing Adithi Ravi Prakash (to name just a few!), and of course all the fantastic stallholders like Tina Mehendi and the delicious food vendors.

The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was buzzing, and the team worked together like a dream 😊 Special thanks to Mehraj Alamgir for the excellent programme he put together and managing the stage on the day, together with Dave Shepshed and Dave Chesterton our excellent stage/compere team.

Huge thanks to Equality Action Fearon Hall Charnwood Arts John Storer Charnwood Brahma Kumaris Loughborough Charnwood Borough Council and all our wonderful partners – including Mike Jones, who worked tirelessly over the past few months to help bring this vibrant event to life.

We were delighted to be contacted by Sue, at Rushes Community Champions, Loughborough who had done some fundraising with a staff sale and charity book shelf. She had managed to raise £200 and wanted to donate it to either Equality Action or Loughborough Mela. We agreed with them to split it into £100 for each.

We had the pleasure of being handed over the funds with Sue and Mo (her manager) on Monday 21st July. These funds will help go towards this year's Mela which is taking place on Sunday 10th August 2025. Thank you Sue and her team at the Tesco's in the Rushes.
