CROSSINGS COMMUNITY GROUP

Crossings Community Group provides opportunities for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to integrate into the communities in which they live. We use music, song writing and team activities to build relationships within the group and with the wider community of the Newcastle and Gateshead area. We aim to improve relationships and understanding through shared positive experiences.
