Malvern Welcomes

Our aim is to support the resettlement of refugees in the Malvern Hills area and to provide practical assistance and advice. We work to nurture a culture of welcome in which people fleeing violence and the horrors of war can live fulfilled and happy lives as part of the community free from poverty, discrimination and harassment.

We have many positive things to report; so many of the young people in the families we have welcomed have begun studying at college and university and are doing so well. Three families now have UK citizenship, having passed the exams for which they have to study in English, and many are passing their driving tests, achieving independence and self-sufficiency. Can you imagine taking a driving test in a language that you have only been learning for a few years? We are very proud of the way our families have settled in. 

Malvern Welcomes would like to acknowledge and thank every individual, group and organisation that donates to the work we are doing. Without your generous contributions we could not support the resettled families we have welcomed into our community or raise awareness of the very real and difficult challenges refugees face across the world. Thank you, for every pound you donate to Malvern Welcomes. Thank you also for every gesture of kindness you make to support refugees and make them feel welcomed within our community and beyond.
