LEAH secures £16,485 grant from Hounslow Thriving Communities Fund to support asylum seekers and refugees

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a £16,485 grant from the London Borough of Hounslow’s Thriving Communities Fund. This generous funding will support vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees in the borough by providing access to our Heston Community Language class in Hounslow.

This project aims to reach individuals living in insecure and temporary housing, as well as those from minority communities, offering them a vital opportunity to improve their English language skills. Through tailored support, learners will gain increased confidence, greater local knowledge, and stronger social inclusion. In addition, the project promotes improved wellbeing by facilitating access to health services and support networks.

By enhancing language skills, LEAH also empowers learners to pursue further education, volunteering, and employment, ultimately contributing to their integration and success in the community.

We are grateful for the support from the Thriving Communities Fund and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on the lives of asylum seekers and refugees in Hounslow.
