Pauland Charles attended City of Sanctuary 'We're Open'. A task we have been to a few times before, but first time at new venue Coffee #1.

The new cafe is still very central to Swindon meaning a good turnout of at least 25. There was a live singer performing when we got there, which we had not experienced at We're Open before but apparently is quite normal. Like a mini concert, lots of joining in, clapping and even some dancing. People were really enjoying themselves and when the singer took a break we started the games and chat.

Lots of familiar faces and Charles as usual got involved in the dominos even managing to win a round, rare. Nice to hear people making progress on legal status, housing and employment.

Free tea and coffee provided by Coffee #1, so thanks to them for hosting.


This task supported
Swindon City Of Sanctuary
We foster a culture of welcome, inclusion and support for everyone in Swindon, with a focus on those seeking sanctuary

In practical terms we do this by bringing people and organisations together, providing support through projects, running community events, raising awareness and campaigning for social justice, thereby contributing to the wider, national movement that is City of Sanctuary
