Leicester's Biggest Ever Eid & Diwali Party:

Shahid has instigated many initiatives within the community. He thinks it is pivotal that communities should not be divided due to race, religion or colour. An example of an initiative that Shahid orchestrated to combat this was to put together a special event, using Clifton Event Management, for all communities. It was a multicultural event to celebrate our city's unique diversity. This was an extremely successful event attracting over 600 people:



This event was a great example of creating an opportunity and setting standards for others to follow; Shahid most definitely set the benchmark.

ROKO Cancer Appeal:

Shahid was also a supporter of the ROKO Cancer appeal. Through Clifton Event Management, Shahid along with his wife Farhana helped organise an event at the House of Lords, London, to help to raise awareness for the charity.
