FAMILY SOCIAL ACTIVITY 🧡🧡

In October half term, we partnered with Compass BMHST, who provided a wonderful activity for Restore families! The focus was improving well-being and mental health for young people! It was a lot of fun!

We signed this letter, along with proud Brummies who know that Brum wouldn’t be Brum without people from around the world.
But we’re worried our proud tradition of sanctuary is being undermined by divisive rhetoric and dangerous policy. 👇

Last week- we went with 17 women to the Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park for one of our free women’s events!

Many different animals were spotted across the park & after walking around, we had time to practice English & enjoy some snacks together 🌿🌴💐🍁
