Thank you to the @the_herbert_cov for having us once again this Monday for our art class! We had a fantastic time. We continued to create our pieces for Coventry Open and practiced our watercolour painting. #art #migrants #migrantswelcome #coventry

It is saddening to see the increase in #foodpoverty. It is sad knowing that for some people who attend our peer support group, it is the only hot meal that they have that day. There is a need and it is going unmet, but we are going to continue to feed migrants.

On Tuesday, we had an amazing peer-support group session! We discussed our plans for the upcoming Refugee Week and Black History Month. We asked our service users what they want us to do and discussed everyone could get involved! #Migrants #Migrantswelcome #mentalhealth
