Help Asylum Seekers Build Community in Nature

Aim

This summer, we’re bringing together asylum seekers from our hubs in London and Stoke-on-Trent for a five-day residential trip to Wales!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Help People With Asylum Seeking and Refugee Backgrounds Build Community in Nature 

Young people seeking asylum in the UK have undergone very traumatic journeys, often forced to leave their lives and loved ones behind. Upon arrival in the UK, many often find it difficult to make new friends and become part of their new communities, faced with a complex legal system to navigate and a whole new way of life to adapt to. 

Babylon Migrants Project provides much needed spaces for people with asylum seeking and refugee backgrounds to make new friends, relax, and feel safe. One way we do this is by spending time in nature, enhancing young people’s social connections, creativity, and wellbeing. 

This summer, 21 young people with asylum-seeking backgrounds from London and Stoke-on-Trent will have a fantastic opportunity to leave their cities and go experience the Welsh countryside to form deep, lasting connections—and you can help make it happen.

Help us raise £3,500!

The Babylon Migrant’s Project is organising a 5-day residential trip to Wales, packed with workshops, outdoor adventures, and community-building activities to help improve participant’s mental health. It will be the first time participants from our hubs in London and Stoke-on-Trent will meet in person and we hope that the residential will improve the wellbeing of our participants, providing much needed respite. 

Thanks to the generosity of The Anne Matthews Trust and the Centre for Knowledge Equity, much of the trip is funded — but we need to raise an additional £3,500 to make this happen. 

Funds raised will go towards:

🥪 Food 

🚌 Transport

🖌️ Workshop materials

and more!

Every contribution, big or small, matters. Please help us to fund our residential so that our participants can create memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Thank you for your support!
