About us
ABC’s Welcome hub and Free shop is open 5 days a week and is a place that refugees and people seeking asylum can use to choose the essential items they need: clothes, toiletries, household items, etc. Importantly, the Free shop provides choice, just like any other shop, so that people can reflect their identity and feel a sense of self-worth, dignity and pride.
We also offer refugees and people seeking asylum multiple opportunities for social interactions through volunteering opportunities and an activity program that aims at reducing isolation and loneliness, improving service users’ mental and physical wellbeing and encouraging integration within the local community. Our activity program includes 7 weekly activity groups with social and sports activities, regular day trips and a connections befriending programme.
