We are delighted to be part of the national Warm Welcome scheme, providing a warm space and hot drinks to community members who are struggling due to high energy prices and need a helping hand, including both local residents and individuals from refugee communities.

This initiative fosters community cohesion and understanding, aligning with our broader efforts to promote community safety. The session takes place on Wednesday mornings, where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together in a friendly and inclusive environment. We view this as an opportunity for members of both the local community and RAS communities to connect in a relaxed and informal setting. Through shared conversations and experiences, this initiative indirectly promotes the integration of one community into another, helping to break down barriers, build mutual respect, and create a sense of belonging for everyone involved.
