Welcome Wednesday is a wonderful space for people who are relatively new to the UK and our city to connect with others, as well as our youth team – it’s been so popular that we’ve now extended it to an extra session on a Thursday too!

What do the sessions offer?

If you're a young refugee or asylum-seeker living in Bristol, come along to this regular drop-in session at The Station.

Meet new people in the city, improve your English, and get some extra support in a safe environment.

Share your story, get your voice heard and have fun – Our youth club has table tennis, football table, Playstation, Pool table, and we provide some free food

  

When young people face such complex challenges, youth work can enable them to build relationships and connect with others. This provides them with a lifeline in a new and unfamiliar country.

How do I book my place on a session?

Just turn up on the evening. Spaces are limited to 35 young people a session so please email Erin on [email protected] if you would like to book a place.

What young people think

 

Coming to Welcome Wednesdays has meant that I can talk to people more easily now. I’m less shy and more confident. Amara

 

Being here helped me meet new people. We play games and have fun and I get to practice speaking English while socialising with others. Kayan

 

This gets me doing lots of different things, helps me explore my interests. For example, we tried yoga for the first time today and I’m looking to get involved in photography. We also go on trips in and out of Bristol, which is fun.

 

This helps me meet new people, we have parties and everyone is really friendly; there’s a real sense of community, it’s a nice place to come to.  I also get support with CV stuff and practicing my English. Sammy
