We run a drop in twice a week; Monday 6-8pm and the main one on Weds morning 10-12.30. The drop in is accessible for all asylum seekers and refugees. We have a team able to deliver English, help with practical items, form filling etc as well as providing a free bike to anyone who wants one. The cafe is relaxed and a nice place to hang out. It is very popular. Occasionally we have visits from other groups to do eye tests, health checks etc…It is run by helpers from Hope Church Crewe and some of the refugee volunteers too.
