Community Friendship & Support

We are creating a Community Friendship and Support Group to provide practical help to asylum seekers and refugees who have been housed in Northampton.

We aim to support people “moving-on” from the asylum system, towards social and economic independence for their life in the UK. Sometimes families in disbursement accommodation are referred who have immediate, short-term needs e.g. requiring school clothes, domestic equipment, or help in accessing services.

Some of the people referred need a longer-term commitment, a befriender to help with English and to adjust to life in Northampton, someone to link the individual to volunteering or employability opportunities.

Our service is always person centred, meeting individual needs throughout their integration journey.
