ARC provides English Classes twice a week at different ability levels. These are free of charge, easily accessible and based around practical language learning. Each day we run different classes ranging from beginners to advanced.
ARC runs a weekly Drop-In for asylum seekers and refugees to meet, socialise and share food together. We offer a range of activities to participate in such as pool, table tennis and craft. Partner organisations working with asylum seekers and refugees locally attend to offer additional services.
ARC provides advice and signposting for asylum seekers and refugees such as help making phone calls, understanding letters or require general advice via casework appointment.
We provide social groups including a youth group and a football team, and always celebrate special events such as Anniversaries, Eid and Christmas.
