Postcode Places Trust awards £25,000 to Refugee Roots

We are pleased to announce that Refugee Roots has been awarded a grant of £25,000 from Postcode Places Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The funding will support our Access groups, Advice & Guidance work, and Befriending programme.

We are really thankful to have been awarded the grant and to be able to partner with the Postcode Places Trust to support asylum seekers and refugees across Nottingham. The funding will make a significant contribution to the success and sustainability of our projects, enabling us to help more people find a place to belong.
