wellbeing support
We want to ensure that everyone has the support and community they need to rebuild their lives happily in the UK. Sometimes people have experienced trauma in their countries of origin or on their journeys here. Sometimes people are struggling with life in the UK, or want to make friends. We run a safe and confidential wellbeing service to help.
Our peer support groups are a safe, confidential and free space for refugees and asylum seekers to seek advice, make friends and get support. Each online group has an optional group English class in tandem, and members have access to laptops, phones and internet support through our Digital Inclusion project.
You can register for these groups below, and someone on the team will aim to be in touch within three weeks. If you are in need of immediate support, please call The Samaritans on 116 123, or the BOLOH helpline on 0800 151 2605.
I feel like I am with my family in the group. I feel confident and people understand me. It helps to improve my English and I learn new things from other people.
This is the place we come when we want to clear our head. We talk about anything and we are here for you and you us.
It gives us a space to talk, like what problem we have, what we are facing and it’s special because most of them are new here, in the UK: from the Facilitator, from me, to most of them, and we are learning from each other.
