<h2>YOU CAN HELP REFUGEES IN BERKSHIRE</h2>Reading Refugee Support Group has been helping Refugees and people seeking asylum to rebuild their lives in Berkshire for over 25 years.Refugees and asylum seekers have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.More than ever, Refugees in Berkshire are trapped, facing poverty, isolation and serious mental health issues on their own.We’re working around the clock to provide food parcels, practical support, remote social activities and befriending to Refugees in need.But while we’re working harder than ever, we’re faced with losing thousands of pounds in donations from cancelled events, money we depend on to provide that vital support.By buying a ticket and supporting this event, you will be helping us provide a lifeline to Refugees across Berkshire when they need it most.
