Refugees Welcome Here – How can you help?

refugeeswelcomehere

At Learn for Life Enterprise we are committed to supporting refugees. #refugeeswelcomehere

Due to the current humanitarian crises, more and more asylum seekers are arriving at Learn for Life on a daily basis. This is in addition to our usual classes and projects, where funding has already been significantly reduced because of the cuts. We need help with teaching English, assisting in classes, IT, general talking/making people feel welcome, fundraising, reception/admin, helping with things like housing, form filling, accessing benefits and legal advice.

If you would like to volunteer please fill in our short form here.

Scarborough Trip

On Saturday we took a coach trip of 50 students and volunteers to Scarborough. We enjoyed a picnic in the park, volleyball on the beach, a look around the town and a walk up to the castle. We looked at the boats in the harbour and paddled in the sea as well as having a dance and going on a few rides in the funfair. It was a fun day but with retrospective moments too as the sea brought back memories of people’s journeys to Europe across the mediterranean sea. They said how they enjoyed seeing the sea in a positive way now. Below are some photos from our visit and there are more available on our facebook page here.
