New Arrivals Befriending Project (360-CheshireCF-A428171)

Cheshire, Halton Warrington Racial Equality Centre aim to eliminate discrimination, especially racial discrimination and promote equality of opportunity and good relations. They are involved with the multi agency panels set up around the sub region, to provide support and assistance to newly arrived refugees They identified a need for an informal network of 'soft' support for refugees arriving in Ellesmere Port, to help with integration and settling into the community. This project will provide volunteers to support and befriend refugees in their first few months, potentially acting as a pilot for other areas within the sub region of Cheshire. The grant pays for volunteer expenses and a £250 contribution towards trips to Manchester & Liverpool to the Arabic Centre/markets to buy Middle Eastern Foods and see and understand how to access the cultural facilities nearby.
