Thank you Asylum Matters for shedding light on our work and the challenges faced. Too many sanctuary seekers are struggling to access basic necessities. Please read their blog here: sass.wales/2025/01/07/swa…

At our Friday drop-in, our talented attendees and volunteers have been working together on a collaborative patchwork quilt. Everyone joins in, creating their own hexagonal pieces, and then they fit them together like a big puzzle. We have some excellent seamstresses!
