SLRA works to build community, challenge exclusion, influence policies that impact the lives of those we work with and to improve services.
Our community engagement work aims to empower migrants and refugees to have their voices heard and become active community members. We believe that the people we work with have a huge amount to contribute to British society and want to open up spaces for them to do so. This involves supporting volunteers with lived experience of migration to share valuable knowledge and experience as well as gain transferable skills. We run a weekly Community Hub, Men’s Group and ESOL class, along with activities for young people.
“What I want for the future is to make a change where I can and try and be a support for others who are going through difficult times.”
