Weekly drop-in for young people who are refugees or seeking asylum.
Hearts Youth Group is a partnership project with The Children’s Society and Solace designed for young people seeking asylum and refugees aged 15-25.
The project offers a weekly drop-in session with activities including creative arts sessions, social time, life skills and advocacy support from a Children’s Society key worker and health and wellbeing activities from a Solace therapist.
The team work with the group to identify activities and subjects they would like to explore, and build a bespoke programme each term based on this.
