Seasons Greetings from everyone at Learn for Life.
Our thoughts, love and best wishes are with those who are still making the journey across Europe, stuck in a country without freedom & safety, making do in a refugee camp, struggling in the jungle in Calais and waiting in limbo for their refugee status. We hope next year will be a better year for you all and compassion and empathy will prevail.
Peace, respect and love to you all xxx

At Learn for Life Enterprise we are committed to supporting refugees. #refugeeswelcomehere
Due to the current humanitarian crises, more and more asylum seekers are arriving at Learn for Life on a daily basis. This is in addition to our usual classes and projects, where funding has already been significantly reduced because of the cuts. We need help with teaching English, assisting in classes, IT, general talking/making people feel welcome, fundraising, reception/admin, helping with things like housing, form filling, accessing benefits and legal advice.
If you would like to volunteer please fill in our short form here.
