Supporting Refugees and Asylum Seekers in our Village

Since November 2021, our village has been hosting many  asylum seekers and refugees who are temporarily residing at our local hotels. Some of  these individuals and families that visit our church tend to be Christians that persecuted from various countries overseas. Those that are formaly recognised as refugees will eventually be processed and located in other forms of accommodation. Ever since their arrival of those fleeing persecution or conflicts St John’s Church has been keen to add value to their stay in our village. We offer several translation opportunities during our church services and run languge classes and a community Café run  by a group of local volunteers aimed to help learning English.
