The PIER partnership regularly collaborates with local charity ICN (International Care Network) who support refugees and asylum seekers in the local area. They have asked us to post an invitation to attend this event in Poole. Please feel free to share the invitation with colleagues, students, friends and family.

On Tuesday the 7th March locally resettled Afghans are being given a chance to tell their stories. These are people who fled their homes after the British and the Americans left Kabul in August 2021. These are the stories of family members and loved ones left behind in Afghanistan. People who, because of their associations, face real dangers from the Taliban almost every day. This event is in support of the Safe Passage Campaign ‘No Afghan Left Behind’

The evening will include:

Refreshments from 19.00

Background on the Government Afghan Resettlement Schemes

Several locally resettled Afghan families
