Southampton Action works to support refugees and asylum seekers in Southampton and surrounding areas, by providing practical support. With the recent news about Afghanistan and the City Council announcing they are happy to resettle refugees in the city, the organisation has been receiving lots of enquiries about volunteering with them and donating items for people in need.
Because of this, Southampton Action is hosting a zoom meeting this Saturday (August 21) at 10:30am to provide an overview of what they do in the city, how you can get involved and what is needed – as well as what they know about the situation in Afghanistan.
The organisers said: “We do not have all the answers yet, but we hope this session will help explain what we do and how you can get involved.”
