Our Weekly Welcomes are back and better than ever! With around 40 people joining us every week for a hot meal, games and chatting we are so happy to have our Weekly Welcomes up and running again!

On Thursday 8th of December 2023, the WERS’ community came together to conduct the Annual General Meeting, where we delved into the accomplishments, challenges and aspirations that defined our journey during this period.

Last week two dedicated members of our Advisory Panel and Campaigns Group, Sadia Sikander and Rudy Centeno, travelled to the heart of the UK government. The Parliamentary lobby witnessed representation from various refugee groups across the North East of England

Refugees and people seeking asylum face a range of barriers when coming to seek safety in their host country, such as inadequate housing, lack of employment opportunities and racism. It is our mission to break these barriers down, so we have listed some ways that you can have a positive impact on refugees and asylum seekers in your community.
