The Refugee Welcome Programme - Work and Skills - Manchester

The Refugee Welcome Programme in Manchester is a partnership between Manchester City Council, Mustard Tree, Breaking Barriers, Manchester Refugee Support Network (MRSN), Impact for All and Rainbow Haven, that will work with refugees and people seeking asylum to build ESOL, Employability and Integration skills.


The programme will offer a mixture of group and 1:1 sessions at accessible locations across the city, alongside tailored support from a RWP Support Worker who will facilitate access to the relevant services that participants may need. The programme will be holistic and person-centred in its approach, as well as being culturally appropriate and trauma-informed in its practice.
