The network envisages the University as a welcoming place for refugees and asylum seekers, and is looking for staff and postgraduate students who’d like to get involved with the network’s efforts.

During the event, representative speakers from local charities and support networks (including Southampton Action, City of Sanctuary, Southampton and Winchester Visitors Group and more) will present how they (and you) can work together to help asylum seekers and refugees in the local community.
