Further information
Services Available at BRASSWeekly drop-inDestitution ProjectEmployment HelpdeskClassesFriendship and supportBRASS is concentrating some of its efforts in providing informal English classes for refugees and asylum seekers living in Bolton. Our previous experience has been that employers, particularly but not exclusively in the private sector, are unwilling to employ people with an insufficient level of English. To that end, BRASS is currently running 4 weekly classes divided in entry and intermediate levels. In addition, BRASS holds similar English classes for all other categories from the refugee and asylum seeker community. These classes are designed to improve the prospect of volunteering opportunities for both refugees and asylum seekers, including those whose application has been refused. There are volunteering opportunities for anyone wishing to help us on this project.
