Tree planting in memory of Sabina Nessa. 17th October 2021

Sabina Nessa, another young woman lost to violence, another incident to add fear to the safety of young women, another feeling of unease about the late reporting of her murder- more reasons for division.

Peace of Cake, together with Friends of Forster Memorial Park invites you to share cake and have a conversation and increase unity and togetherness.

Sabina Nessa often used Forster Memorial Park’s Outdoor Classroom. A pear tree will be planted in her memory (in the art world, a strong symbol of fruitfulness and femininity) so that children from the local schools and the community can reflect and harvest the fruit in September when she sadly lost her life.

We hope that the tree will grow tall and people can visit to reflect on the kindness that is so needed in the world today.

Meet at 3pm by the Sensory Garden (in the main field, nearest entrance Longhill Road/Bellingham Road) for the tree planting, followed by tea and cake from 3.30pm in the Outdoor Learning Area (near top Whitefoot Lane entrance).
