Supporting Refugees and Asylum Seekers in your Community

For this lunchtime session we will be joined by Annette James from Micah Liverpool and trustee of Feeding Liverpool, and Ewan Roberts from Asylum Link alongside experts by experience who will be sharing their experience working with and living as asylum seekers and refugees in Liverpool.

It will be an opportunity for Community Food Spaces to come together and learn more about the support in place across the city for people seeking asylum and refugees, and to discuss ways to develop community food provision for this group.

There will be refreshments on arrival and a plant-based lunch provided by Bettylicious Cooks who is serving delicious African food.

Where: Liverpool Archdiocesan Office, Croxteth Drive, Liverpool, L17 1AA
