Connecting Communities for Refugee Integration
My story of hope is around 'connection'. This week I connected two fabulous people, Toni Finnimore of the Social Society and Andy Hawkins of Business on Purpose, to help integrate a refugee family as they moved from Bristol (Andy's patch) to Brighton (Toni's patch). This included accessing a Farsi translator, 'tea and talk' sessions to improve English, banking support and setting up healthcare provision amongst other things. To create change, we have to go that extra mile and these two people are the very epitome of that.
