'Open Doors' supports asylum-seekers and refugees. The NHS, the Immigration Advisory Service and the CAB work with them (including Anglicans and RCs) to provide for between 50 and 100 people every Thursday. They provide lunch, coffee etc. The joy is when those we help offer to do practical tasks (like washing-up or furniture-moving), and also to help newcomers in their turn to settle in.
