Lewes Refugee Support has a network of trained volunteers who support the families and individuals who have settled in the Lewes District as part of the government’s Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, or who have arrived by other means.

We provide ESOL and subject-based tutoring for school children (Maths and English are often a priority) and help with the everyday challenges of a new life.

Through our links with other relevant local statutory and non-statutory bodies we are able to signpost people when they need help with negotiating housing, benefits, health care, etc.

The weekly sewing group is a chance for migrant women to come and learn some basic sewing skills and make their own clothes in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. Women learn how to use a sewing machine, work with paper dress-making patterns, explore different types of fabric, take measurements and follow a step by step garment construction process. The sewing group is a warm and safe space to practice English, learn new skills, share knowledge with others and develop self confidence and resilience. We have a waiting list at the moment.

Contact email mepbrighton12@gmail.com

We’re always on the lookout for more volunteers. If you enjoy sewing and can use a machine and paper pattern, do get in touch
