“This month-long tribute is a testament to the rich and vibrant contributions of the South Asian community to our borough's cultural fabric.
“Hearing so many stories and talking to so many different people about their history, how they came to be in Barnet and how they’ve made their lives and made a difference has been wonderful
“It makes me so glad that we are able to celebrate the impact of our wonderfully diverse communities in such a fun and respectful way.”
