In response to our recent research project in collaboration with Merl and peer-researchers with lived experience of the asylum-system, Refugee Sanctuary Scotland plan to continue many of the activities we already provide, including:
🏋️♂️ Gym passes
🧘 Flexible regular activities (e.g. hikes, guided walks, yoga, ball activities)
🚌 Bus passes to access activities
Further to the above we plan to develop our services by expanding and having a community hub. The hub will allow people to come together and connect through our new community space and allow us to continue with existing activities from our new space and extend our activities to include arts and creative inputs, digital support and facilitated discussions.
