This project is supporting refugees and asylum seeking children with an emphasis on those who have suffered trauma, abuse and neglect by supporting them to develop their self-esteem and capacity for resilience (ECM outcomes).

Our youth activities aim to develop young people’s voice and influence, building their confidence and sense of place in society, and enabling them to reach their full potential.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for learning which complements that of formal education, also preparing young refugees to tackle a whole spectrum of issues, and through group work (activities) help them develop supportive relationships with other young people, and opening their eyes to new experiences, confidence building, ambitions and empathy.

This is a mixed group (boys and girls aged 12-18 years old) which meets every Thursday at Middlesex University, main reception.
