Fairness and Equality

Welcome to the UK

Welcome to the UK support migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in Southend to help them engage in their new community and access advice.

They offer free English as a Second Language classes, workshops and one-on-one support for parents and children, as well as a variety of social events.

They also provide a creche to allow children to have fun while parents can socialise at friendship group sessions.

A grant from us supported the salary of their CEO to enable this vital work to continue.  They have now extended this support to Ukrainian refugees, to support their transition into the UK culture, help them to reach out to statutory services, and make friends with other people who have had similar experiences.
