Refugees who have fled war and persecution face many challenges as they build new lives in the UK. They struggle with complex problems that they do not have the language skills, confidence or expert knowledge to resolve without support. Trauma leaves its imprint on many parents' mental health and reduces their ability to support children as the family navigate an unfamiliar world without a supportive social network.

We will provide holistic family support including: -An advice project providing help at critical moments, and ongoing support, so families receive and understand their benefits and rights -A mentoring project for children, providing academic support and help to realise ambitions. The participants plan fun activities for the holidays -A women’s project providing English classes, a film club, trips and workshops, building confidence, friendships and wellbeing, as well as language fluency.
