Refugee Futures supports families and local agencies in integrating refugees into communities in Nottinghamshire.
We have developed a toolkit of support options for commissioners, offering input around the setting up of infrastructure for families, and working with local communities, voluntary groups, partners and employers. Some of the things we do include:
Furnishing houses for newly-arrived families
Facilitating access to healthcare, including GP registration and mental health provision
Facilitating access to education, liaising with schools and adult education providers
Building support networks with other refugees and volunteer groups
Supporting language acquisition, including setting up conversation classes
Cultural awareness raising within the community
Developing opportunities for voluntary placements
