Health & Sports Activities

We are passionate about improving the health and wellbeing of the people we work with. We run a range of healthy activities for refugees and asylum seekers, including sports groups and exercise classes, as well as advice, workshops and referrals to health partners.

We partner with the Ipswich Town Foundation on a weekly refugee football group, which has been visited by several Ipswich Town first team players and has featured on national television, and we offer taster sessions on other sports.

Currently we run:
