Internationals
Refugee support ministry
At St Nic’s we are passionate about helping refugees and asylum seekers settle into our city.
ENGLISH @ ST NICS
We run free weekly English classes in our church building which are open to anyone. Learning English gives refugees and asylum seekers confidence in their new surroundings and this is another way for them to meet people and make friends.
If you are interested in coming to our classes call or text us on 07349300207 or email Emily here.
CONVERSATION CLUB
Conversation Club is a chance for informal English conversation in small groups to practice speaking and gain confidence. We talk about lots of different topics and learners of every level are welcome. It is on every Tuesday at 10am.
Skills Club
Skills Club is our weekly class that aims to equip internationals for life and work in the UK. It's a friendly space for newcomers to ask questions, learn about the UK and make friends. We aim to cover a range of topics that are practical and relevant! It runs in term-time on Tuesdays, 1:30-3:00pm.
welcome and support
We are here to support new arrivals to the UK and are happy to help sign post asylum seekers to organisations that can help them with housing, clothing and legal advice. If you need help with this you can get in touch with Emily here.
