ESOL and orientation groups

We run three weekly groups to help people find their way around the city and its services, practice English and improve wellbeing.

Activities are organised to support group members to:

  • Learn about useful services, interesting places and fun activities in Brighton and Hove
  • Practise English in a friendly, supportive space
  • Build connections and a community of friends
  • Improve health and wellbeing
  • Get support with accessing digital devices and using the internet
  • Use public transport with confidence
  • Access information to develop skills and gain employment
  • Learn about other groups and volunteering

Groups run from 10-1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (service users can join one of three groups).

For more information or to express an interest in attending a group, please contact Hayat : hayat.shehab@voicesinexile.org / 07526 072347

Please note the groups are currently full. Please email Hayat if you would like to be added to the waiting list in case there’s space in the future. Thank you.

Our very first ESOL group was made up solely of learners referred by ViE and we continue to work well together to provide vital ESOL courses for newly arrived refugees and migrants.  It’s always a pleasure to work with ViE and we value your expertise in working with vulnerable refugees and migrants.
