Our volunteer Denise was very happy to report on yesterday’s free shop drop-in at the asylum accommodation. "Thanks to the support of Broxbourne’s church communities, whose donated clothing was really appreciated by families arriving with only the clothes they stand up in.”

Puppet fun! These children’s families have been persecuted and have sought sanctuary here. Jester Jim and Hazy Daisy brought a bit of fun and our volunteers came with cakes. It was a chance for the asylum seekers to relax and talk to each other. A girl told us she and her sister were happy here.
