Our Tuesday Drop-in sessions for Ukrainian refugees and their hosts are ongoing, in partnership with Southend City Council. During these sessions, various members of Resettlement Team as well as representative from other local organisations, come to the hub to give information and support to refugees. Alongside these sessions, we have been setting-up a donation centre each Tuesday morning, where refugees could come and take the items that have been donated to us by the general public. These donations include clothes, shoes, toys, bedding and more. We are so grateful to the local community for their generous donations. We have seen first hand what a difference these make to the lives of those who have recently arrived in Southend. Our final pop-up store was on September 20th and was open to all of our service users.
