The BRF Welcome Project is a useful service for new to Bradford Refugees and Asylum Seekers. The Bradford Refugee Forum runs the Welcome to Bradford project.
This project welcomes new arrivals to Bradford & signposts them to community organisations & groups that can provide the appropriate assistance.
People who are newly arrived are likely to be isolated and unable to engage with the wider community due to unfamiliarity of a new place as well as language barriers. The project helps to bridge the gap by matching people with volunteers who are able to introduce them to the city and especially the support groups that would be helpful for the individual to engage with.
We are well placed to help by linking people arriving in Bradford with support and opportunities, and also by hosting/equipping other community groups to run events or projects that enable refugees and asylum seekers’ voices to be heard and celebrate their identity.
We also enable refugees and asylum seekers to partake in opportunities and use or develop their skills during events such as the above and also through other projects and on other occasions.
Hey, would you like to join our group of volunteer helpers?
Please get in touch, we will support you all the way.
