• 'A Better Welcome to Swansea’ coffee morning

  Fri 10 Nov 2023 Julie Miller

  Are you new to Swansea? Would you like the opportunity to learn about the city and the community that the school is within?
  Would you like the chance to meet other parents, who also may be new to the area, or the country and are in a similar situation. Are you looking to develop friendships and community links?
  Then join us on December 5th at 9am, for a coffee morning with a guest speaker Hannah Sabatia, from the A Better Welcome to Swansea project.
  The ‘ A Better Welcome to Swansea’ Project helps to welcome and support people seeking asylum and refuge in Swansea to reduce isolation, encourage active participation, promote well-being and enhance integration.
  Meet with other parents, ask questions and get advice on important topics, over a coffee and a biscuit. We look forward to seeing you then!
