SHARE KNOWSLEY

We run a weekly drop-in to help asylum seekers & refugees living in Knowsley integrate into their local community. Attendees receive £4 towards transport costs, a free lunch and can purchase a small selection of fresh produce, toiletries, nearly new clothing and household items at nominal costs. Practical support and advice is available and English classes are offered three times a week.
