Refugee Roots Christmas Celebration 2021

“Refugee Roots has provided me with a new family. I am far from my own family and feel the overwhelming love of this community. Sharing a Christmas meal is very special.” Alliance. Alliance was one of over fifty volunteers and participant guests invited to a special celebration event in December hosted by Refugee Roots in Hyson Green, Nottingham. The Christian charity helps asylum seekers and refugees build relationships and navigate the complexities of building a new life in the UK.
Just like magic

Magic Little Grants Refugee Roots would like to extend a big thank you to Magic Little Grants who have generously awarded us £500 for us to use toward venue hire, volunteer expenses and some more delicious ingredients for us to use in our cooking and eating group! No doubt this grant will help us improve the activities and support we run for refugees and asylum seekers, and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you Magic Little Grants!
