As well as material help, the Network has also been able to support those who are lonely, feeling a bit below par or otherwise need a bit of help during the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 2020 newsletter explains that the Network brings together organisations on the Isle of Dogs which are led by Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) residents \u2013 to ensure that BAME residents are fully engaged in the local community. It wasn\u2019t always so. Tory austerity in the 1980s helped the extreme right whip up racism \u2013 to the point where the first British National Party (BNP) councillor was elected in the autumn of 1993.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has taken over a quarter of the century, but patient work by BAME residents, their organisations \u2013 and many non-BAME supporters \u2013 has reversed the situation. The Island Network has supported the whole community \u2013 at a time when community groups have struggled to survive because of the Coronavirus and hostility by local landlords.\u00a0 It is a great credit to the Island Network that the community can put the pat behind us and move forward together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As he launched the 2020 newsletter, Island Network Chair Maium Miah Talukdar said, \u201cI am delighted and proud to share the wonderful and inspiring work of all the Island Network community heroes. [\u2026] I would like to also extend my prayers to all those that have lost loved ones during these difficult times and my best wishes to those who are currently ill or hospitalised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are all relieved that 2020 is over \u2013 and so sad that the pandemic is continuing now, in 2021. Maium urged all residents to observe the lockdown and look after themselves and each other. He promised that the Island Network will keep going. \u201cRest assured,\u201d he said, \u201cwe are here to help every single member of our community and support them in their hour of need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfRead the Island Network Newsletter here:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mediaofthings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Island-Network-Newsletter-2021.pdf\">Island Network Newsletter 2021<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cf<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">To catch up with the news in East London, go to:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>East London News<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfTo catch up with regular shows and videos, go to:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VodTalk\">VodTalk Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE ISLAND NETWORK is celebrating all that it has achieved during 2020 \u2013 and it has produced a newsletter which thanks sponsors, volunteers and members of the community who have engaged with the Network.
