Episode 1: The Journey

On today’s episode, we are joined by Yeser, a Trustee for the Refugee Buddy Project, and a refugee herself. We discuss the journey people make coming to the UK, the heartbreak of leaving home, and the importance of community and solidarity in the struggle to make a new life here.

The Refugee Buddy Project started out in 2017 as a community group to welcome people who had recently arrived in Hastings and the surrounding area who were seeking refuge and safety. They are a registered charity supporting over 25 families through buddying, advocacy and financial and emotional support.
