Asylum seekers and refugees face disproportionate social exclusion, creating a unwelcoming and lonely experience at a time when what they need more than anything else is our support and companionship.
In this episode Mary Rose speaks to Collette Batten-Turner, founder of Conversations Over Borders, a UK-based organisation supporting forcibly displaced people to share their experiences with the wider public in order to campaign for a fairer UK.
Conversations Over Borders spark cross-cultural conversations by offering one-to-one online befriending, English classes, mental health support, digital access and inclusion to people fleeing war and persecution who are seeking safety in the UK.
We have more in common than we do dividing us.
