Request Details
This is an annual camping trip for refugees and asylum seekers. Thanks to previous POP grants, we have been able to run this every year now since our first one at the end of the first Lockdown. It is a major highlight in the year for our refugees/asylum seekers and is only made possible through the funding we receive. Each year we choose a different local camp site that is as affordable as possible and possible to be accessed using local transport, to not only give our group a really special holiday together but to also show them possible ways they could get away and have a refreshing short break themselves in the future. The camping trip is a wonderful time of deepening relationships with one another and relaxing. Everyone comes from very relational cultures, so events like this are a vital life line as they grapple with the challenges of culture shock, language learning and adapting to a whole new life in this their newly adopted country.
