THE HUB

The Hub is open to all asylum seeker, refugee and migrant families and individuals in the City of York and the surrounding area.  We aim to provide emotional and practical support to families as well as access to information and support services and language classes. The Hub meets one Sunday each month at a local primary school.  If you, or someone you know, is interested in coming to The Hub then please get in touch by email on info@refugeeactionyork.com or phone on 07355598866.

Each session includes a talk or workshop for adults followed by a shared meal, music, and chat.

For children and teenagers, there are activities and games.  Mother tongue language classes (currently Arabic, Turkish, and Ukrainian) are offered at primary school level. (Secondary school/GCSE level classes are offered online weekly.)

Coffee morning
