TOGETHER South (Kent)

Helping refugees and migrants in Kent to meet their community and settle in the UK through English language support.

TOGETHER South (Kent)

Together South works to support refugees and migrants in Kent, helping them to connect with and thrive in their communities by providing English language lessons, and UK Cultural Insights activities, employment advice and cultural insights.

We also run the Together South programme in Hastings & Rother and IMPACT in Bristol.

Together South is part of Groundwork’s TOGETHER programme, a collection of projects delivered by Groundwork London and Groundwork South which support refugees and migrants to settle into life in the UK.

We would like to take the opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to those of you who have supported us over the past three and a half years. Thank you for referring participants, funding us and engaging with our programme. You helped us reach 466 refugees and migrants across Kent and East Sussex in assisting their integration into new communities. We provided nearly 4,000 English, employment or cultural insights sessions and connected participants to many relevant local organisations. We could not have done this without you.

Signposting Resources

We have created a signposting brochure for those in Kent unable to access our support. This brochure includes information about services and organisations accessible across the area.

This resource pack is organised by theme, and you will be able to find all the support you need from a wide range of organisations.

We hope that you will find this a helpful resource.
