On Saturday 8th June, Mia took on her very first half marathon, and smashed it! We’re so proud of Mia for completing this challenge in support of SASS. So far, she’s raised an amazing £622 ❤️

Donations are still open, if you'd like to support! https://t.co/UPKnhjNfFT

A huge thank you to Croeso Choir and Kate Davies for your generosity.

[Swansea Asylum Seekers Support @SASS_Community]

We are so grateful to Croeso Choir for choosing to fundraise for SASS at their upcoming event. This special evening of music will not only be a wonderful celebration of community but also a tribute to Richard Powell, a long term member of the choir who sadly passed away recently

[Swansea Asylum Seekers Support @SASS_Community]

The event is free to attend, with donations on the door supporting SASS. Every contribution helps us continue to provide essential support and a warm welcome to those seeking sanctuary in Swansea.

Join for an uplifting evening of songs, laughter and community!

At our Friday drop-in, our talented attendees and volunteers have been working together on a collaborative patchwork quilt. Everyone joins in, creating their own hexagonal pieces, and then they fit them together like a big puzzle. We have some excellent seamstresses!

[Swansea Asylum Seekers Support @SASS_Community]

Thank you @AsylumMatters for shedding light on our work and the challenges faced. Too many sanctuary seekers are struggling to access basic necessities.
