We work with newly arrived women from a range of countries to build language, independence and employability skills, and aid integration into British life and culture, supporting participants to take positive steps towards starting a new life in the UK.

Many of the women taking part are waiting for decisions on their refugee status; they are keen to work and achieve the independence this will give them. Through this programme, we mitigate the feelings of frustration and isolation that newly arrived women can feel as friendships are formed, as well as building up their toolkit of skills and confidence to thrive once their refugee status is granted.

Below is an example of some of the work we do. In Summer 2021, the group created a film focusing on love, friendship, happiness & hope. Through this film, members of the group reflect on things that have lifted their spirits during the pandemic, and share with viewers and each other important words & phrases from their own languages.
