'CLUB CLASS'

We're delighted to be launching this educational, cultural and social programme for separated young people aged 15-18. Club Class will run throughout the year on Wednesdays, from 4.30 to 7.30 pm in the London NW8 area. The Trustees are very pleased to have appointed youth workers Roz Evans, Egerton Gbonda and Laura Maxwell, who are already busy recruiting participants and planning the programme.

 

Imagine having to flee your homeland because of war, terror or persecution. Imagine being a child or young person. Imagine not having your parents with you because they were killed before you left or were unable to leave. Imagine arriving in a strange country, seeking asylum, completely alone. Imagine having absolutely nothing.

Separated children and young people experience the double trauma of separation not only from their homeland, culture and natural environment but also from the adults in their family who gave them care.

'Separated Child' offers emotional, social, financial and physical support to separated children and young people in Britain up to the age of 21. It also engages in educational activities that raise awareness of their needs and encourage positive responses to them.
