Refugees often face social isolation, a major challenge that affects their mental and physical health, leading to feelings of abandonment.

 

However, those with refugee status who engage in community groups and volunteering can overcome barriers, fostering new friendships, boosting confidence, and enhancing language and cultural knowledge.

The idea behind our Refugee Support Hub is to create a safe place where people from different backgrounds can socialise and seek advice about any aspect of living in the UK

 

This initiative aims to promote inclusion, celebrate diversity, and provide a space for individuals to develop skills, gain experiences, and build supportive relationships.

Our Refugee Hub, held at the Pallant Centre in Havant, provides a safe and supportive environment for refugees to socialise and seek advice about living in the UK.

Our Refugee Support Hub started life as  'CommUNITY Kitchen' at the Pallant Centre in Havant. The theme of the inaugural event was food from Afghanistan and was prepared by a group of women, all of which had arrived in the UK, as refugees, during the emergency evacuation of Kabul in 2021.

Since then the event has grown beyond cooking and has become a one-stop-shop for advice and support.

We partner with One Foundation, based at One Church in Emsworth, to provide weekly food packages for families and individuals in need.

 

Volunteers collect and deliver these packages as part of our crisis response, which is initiated after an assessment through our RADAR programme. Urgent support is also available on an ad hoc basis when necessary.
