Migrant Help Supporting Refugee Roots

We are incredibly grateful to Migrant Help for their generous award of £3000 through the Community Hubs Grant 2025. This funding will play a vital role in supporting Refugee Roots' work in building community connections and empowering refugees and asylum seekers.

How the Funds Will Be Used

The funding provided by Migrant Help will directly aid our Access Arts programme, which brings diverse communities together through initiatives rooted in creativity and shared expression.

Additionally, the grant will bolster our Art of Belonging work, an ongoing initiative that underpins our commitment to fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging among participants.
