Our Launch Event

The Sunderland Bangladesh International Centre celebrated 15 year of working in the City and launched their new name stressing the “International” nature of their work at an event held at the centre in the 21st January.

As the chair of the SB International Centre, Syed Khaled Miah said “Much has changed during the last 15 years. The City of Sunderland has become more diverse with people from many, many different parts of the world coming to live and work here. This is why we decided to change the name of the centre, to include the word “International”. This is a very important word for us because we want to make it clear that we are open to everyone, of all faiths and races. We see the Sunderland Bangladesh INTERNATIONAL Centre as a place where people from many different part of the world can meet and enjoy each others company, learn from each other and find help and guidence”.

The Deputy Mayor of Sunderland, councillor Brian Curran, praised the centre for its work and stressed that it was “particularly important, in these troubled times, to acknowledge the work of this centre in promting tolerance, understanding the mutual respect for people from differnt backgrounds and cultures. In our City we stand united against extremism and intolerance and the work of this centre, has made and continues to make, a valuable contribution to towards building harmony and understanding between people of different faiths and skin colour”.
