"For many years Geoffrey Bindman was a keen participant in a Black, Asian and Jewish breakfast group that met in Chalk Farm, north-west London. Across a kitchen table we discussed not only the plight of refugees coming to Britain and the need to strengthen race relations legislation, but also our shared experiences of being minority communities in Britain. In the current climate cohesion is under strain, and we still need the sort of initiatives that Geoffrey helped to encourage."

Geoffrey Bindman participated for many years in a Black, Asian and Jewish breakfast group that met in Chalk Farm, north-west London. Meetings took place around a kitchen table where participants discussed the plight of refugees coming to Britain and the need to strengthen race relations legislation. Participants shared experiences of being minority communities in Britain. The meetings connected personal exchange with concern for policy change, linking everyday experience to legislative aims. The current climate has left social cohesion under strain. There remains a need for cross-community initiatives like those Geoffrey helped to encourage to rebuild solidarity and support vulnerable newcomers.
