My parish church helps asylum seekers, they are vulnerable groups of people
Asylum Seekers and Refugees
Since November 2021, our village has been hosting many asylum seekers and refugees who are temporarily residing at our local hotels. Many of these individuals and families will eventually be processed and located in other forms of accommodation. Ever since their arrival St John’s Church has been keen to add value to their stay in our village. We have supported them with emergency clothing and goods as well have supported the children to find appropriate schooling. We offer several translation opportunities during our church services and run an International Café also known as the I-Café set up by a group of local volunteers aimed to help many of our local Refugees and Asylum Seekers in learning English
