Supporting New Arrivals in Newham: The Well Newham Project
At Well Newham, we are committed to helping migrants and asylum seekers feel at home in our community and build a brighter future. In partnership with the London Borough of Newham, we offer a range of services designed to enhance employability, improve health and wellbeing, and foster community integration.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
- Employability Skills Workshops
Our fortnightly workshops are focused on developing the professional skills needed to succeed in the UK. We cover essential areas like CV writing, digital literacy, and English language skills. These workshops help participants unlock new opportunities, whether it’s volunteering or finding paid work. - Building Community Connections
It’s not just about work – it’s about feeling part of the community. We support participants to build strong community links through community events that celebrate our diverse cultures. These gatherings provide a space for newcomers to meet people from different backgrounds and feel a sense of belonging. - Health and Wellbeing Support
We understand that settling into a new country can be challenging, and health is a big part of that. Our Healthy Eating Clubs offer hot meals, cooking facilities, and a warm, welcoming space for new arrivals. We also run monthly health workshops for expectant women and mothers, covering important topics like prenatal and postnatal care, emergency situation training, and how to register with healthcare providers. - Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Support
Starting a new life in a new country can bring emotional and psychological challenges. To help, we provide trauma-informed care and mental health support. Our trained mental health first-aiders and professional practitioners offer guidance on coping with the stresses of resettlement and integrating into a new community.
Through these services, we’re working to ensure that everyone who arrives in our community feels supported, welcomed, and empowered to succeed. At Well Newham, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive – and we’re here to help make that happen.
