Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

We offer a wide variety of weekly events aimed at asylum seekers and refugees (ASRs) in our area. Through these events, mostly in the form of "drop-ins" we are able to provide a welcome, and a point of contact for help, advice and support with volunteers from many local voluntary, community and faith organisations. We also work to make our City more welcoming.
