Lockdown Catch-ups!

During the winter 2020/21 lockdown we are running monthly zoom calls as a way of staying in touch with our participants and maintaining a sense of community.

Each session starts with a guest speaker who talks about the support they can give to asylum seekers and refugees - we the have a Q & A followed by a general catch up and some games.

Below you can find clips and images from our sessions.

Our online creative play session with Play Act Create Transform (PACT) Creative on 11. 02. 2021 was incredible.

Fun and laughter are such powerful ways to support wellbeing and help build community - even in such challenging times

We all had huge smiles on our faces as we tried pen fencing, collective storytelling and more !
