The AWE network supports asylum seekers and refugees in Long Eaton and beyond by facilitating:

• provision of clothing and items for everyday use;

• assistance with English learning and conversation and other educational support;

• spiritual and pastoral support;

• positive community engagement;

• friendship and social support;

• voluntary activities and sport;

• advocacy and consultation with service users and providers;

• networking with other stakeholders;

• support for asylum seekers being dispersed from Long Eaton elsewhere in the country - both in preparation for moving, and keeping in touch with those who have moved and facilitating local support; 

• support for refugees after being granted the right to remain in the UK, including with finding housing  and household items and learning to live independently; 

• other interventions identified as beneficial to local asylum seekers and refugees.
