New Scots in Edinburgh face unprecedented challenges this winter. The rising cost of living and winter fuel prices will affect everyone. But New Scots are also forced to contend with language barriers, social isolation, barriers to employment, and the trauma of fleeing conflict, poverty and inequality.
Want to volunteer with us? We are looking for people to help with our friendship groups and Gym & Swim group! 🎉 Our Conversation Cafe, Afghan Women’s Group and Women’s Conversation Space help refugees and migrants to meet new people and make friends 💜 We are also recruiting one-to-one-befrienders.
We now offer three English classes in the evenings (6pm - 7.30pm). These classes take place at The University of Edinburgh, 50 George Square (EH8 9JU). We have a Pre-Intermediate class on Tuesdays, an Intermediate class on Wednesdays and a Beginner class on Thursdays.
