Past Projects

On 7 June 2026, Peterborough became a vibrant meeting place of cultures, traditions, music and community spirit as the European Cultural Heritage Festival 2026 brought together people from different backgrounds to celebrate Europe’s rich cultural identity.

The event was organised by Peterborough’s ZI Foundation and Little Bulgaria UK from Cambridge

At Zi Foundation, our SMR Mental Health sessions in Paston continue to support local residents by creating a safe and welcoming space to talk, connect, and engage with the community.

These sessions focus on listening to people’s experiences, discussing mental health challenges, and helping individuals build confidence and stronger social connections. It is always inspiring to see how happy, grateful, and positive participants feel after each session.

Through community support, open conversations, and friendship, Zi Foundation remains committed to promoting positive mental wellbeing and reducing isolation across Peterborough.

One City, One Community.

Zi Foundation proudly hosted a Christmas lunch for local vulnerable people, bringing the community together in a warm, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere. It was our vision to create a space where everyone felt valued, included, and able to share genuine smiles, and it was truly heart-warming to see so many people enjoying the moment together.

A special thank you to our incredible chef, Karismer, whose dedication and hard work made it possible to serve a perfect meal to thousands of people. This event would not have been possible without the commitment of our team, volunteers, and everyone who supports Zi Foundation in making a real difference in the community. 

Zi Foundation runs the SMR (Supporting Mental Resilience) project, a UK-registered charity focused on suicide prevention, mental health awareness and counselling support — including a mental health helpline initiative.

Our events bring together community leaders, professionals, and residents to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote open conversations around mental health. Through talks, workshops, and community engagement, we aim to educate, empower, and create positive, lasting impact.
