Gift Of Words Appeal
This Christmas, we need your help to raise money for our free community Action Language school – giving the Gift of Words to refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants across Tyne and Wear.
Many vulnerable refugees arrive in Tyne and Wear with limited English language skills – having fled war-torn countries like Afghanistan that are unsafe. Not speaking English can make the smallest of tasks, like getting on a bus or making an appointment with your GP, a huge challenge.
That’s where we come in. Here at Action Foundation, we provide FREE English lessons for people that need them. Last year we helped 697 vulnerable refugees to improve their English language skills and begin to navigate life in the North East.
“The class has been a positive chance for me.”
