We support refugees and asylum seekers by offering both practical help and welcoming community spaces. We know that starting a new life in a new country can be difficult, so we aim to make that journey a little easier by offering services that meet people’s needs and projects that help them feel part of something positive.

Our Projects
Our work is all about building trust, confidence, and community. Whether someone needs help finding a solicitor, attending a health appointment, learning English, or simply meeting new people — we are here to support them.
We run a variety of ongoing projects that bring people together, encourage learning, and offer safe spaces to grow and connect:
- Education
Our sanctuary is a welcoming space where asylum seekers and refugees can learn, grow, and feel supported. Through English classes, computer skills training, and study support for middle and high school students, we provide practical tools for everyday life while nurturing confidence and independence. Together, these classes help individuals and families build brighter futures in a safe and encouraging environment. - Sewing Group
Our sewing class is a creative, hands-on project where people learn new skills or develop ones they already have. It’s a calm and friendly space where members can sew together, make beautiful items, and build friendships. Some of our sewing work has even been entered into community exhibitions. - Stay and play
Stay & Play is a Parents & Toddlers Group within our sanctuary, offering a welcoming space for families with children (aged 5 and under). It is a relaxed and friendly environment where little ones can play, sing songs, listen to stories, take part in simple crafts, and enjoy snacks together.
- Community Garden
We have a lovely outdoor space where people come together to plant, grow, and take care of a shared garden. This project brings joy, fresh air, and a chance to connect with nature — especially important for those who may be feeling isolated or stressed. - Women’s Group
Our women’s group is a safe and welcoming space for women of all backgrounds to meet, talk, take part in activities, and support one another. It’s a chance to relax, build friendships, and feel part of a community that understands and cares.
These projects work alongside our wider services, which include help with schooling, legal advice, clothing, baby supplies, SIM cards, and transport to essential appointments.
Everything we do is rooted in kindness, respect, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, included, and valued.
