🌍✨ What a fantastic Refugee Week celebration in Coventry! ✨🌍
It was amazing to see so many people come together to celebrate our diverse community. I felt proud to live in Coventry and to be part of Saint Francis Employability. ❤️ I am constantly inspired by our students who step out of their comfort zones to attend, practise their English, and create opportunities for themselves. Their courage inspired me to do the same, and I was delighted to share a little piano performance. 🎹 A huge thank you to our students, volunteers, charities

Thank You!
The Welfare Team received a lovely card from a client we have been supporting over the last few months. We helped her and her family with housing, benefit and debt issues as they started a new life after suffering domestic violence. Together we worked hard to ensure the family are now safe, settled and moving on and this show of appreciation really means a lot!

Likewise, when you move into
