Warm Hut
The charity was established in 2009 to support French speaking asylum seekers and refugees living in the Greater Manchester.
We run community activities that are preventative as well as early intervention which allow the community to make informed choices and improve their quality of life.
Most of our activities aim to alleviate isolation and depression, including emotional wellbeing, social, physical and recreational activities.
Examples of our work include:
- Securing permanent accommodation
- Helping to equip new houses or clearing utilities bills.
- Breaking the isolation of the over 60s by providing companionship, befriending and home visits.
- Providing emotional and practical support to those affected by life events such genital mutilation, life treating illnesses or rape.
