Since the Asylum Dispersal Scheme was introduced in April 2022, local authorities across the UK have been hosting asylum seekers, regardless of whether they are equipped to do so. Hundreds of people seeking asylum have been placed in hotels across North Somerset (a levelling up priority place and where we live), leading to extreme social isolation. Since 2023, we’ve been delivering a co-created programme of weekly creative workshops including sewing, ceramics and music attended by 658 people. We also host two annual FEASTING events, which bring together residents, asylum seekers, and refugees over food and music. “One young boy had only arrived the day before, and... it gave him the opportunity to hang around and start to chat to people... there was great pride in what was made” (Volunteer.) “This was the first time I’d ever attended creative workshops in my life” (Workshop Participant.)
We are currently running a fundraiser to raise money to continue this programme of creative workshops. Head to our fundraisers page for more information and to donate.
