CHARIS Refugees, in association with Somerset County Council and other partners, is setting up six Welcome Hubs across Somerset – in Taunton, Bridgwater, Watchet, Frome, Wells and Yeovil.  The Welcome Hubs will help refugees and asylum seekers to become more independent and integrate into the community, as well as provide support to sponsors.  Services on offer will include a confidential safe space, English language lessons, peer support, and signposting to local events, activities and services, such as health and employment.  

For further information about activities and the opening hours for each Welcome Hub, please look on www.charisrefugees.org
