A festive Hackney film has been released to send seasonal cheer around the borough.
The film features community contributors reflecting on the year passed as steelpan music and home-made lanterns from Morningside School accompany their heartfelt messages.
A Chanukah song sung by Simon Marks school choir with dances from the Crib Youth Club in Hackney also features.
Rabbi Herschel Gluck says in the film: However difficult things might seem, we can bring light and warmth, into society, into the world and make the world a better place.
