We're opening doors to refugees in Nottingham through spare rooms, friendship and practical support. Find out how to #becomeahost or #volunteer at our website.
For this #FridayUpdate we wanted to celebrate that we housed our clients for a cumulative 29000 nights! (290012 to be exact 😆)
This could not happen without our incredible funders, donors, staff team, host volunteers and partner organisations. Thank you everyone! 👊
We found these great illustrations on Positively Present.
These winter months can be difficult for various reasons. We encourage all our staff members, volunteers, and clients to make space for themselves, and prioritise their wellbeing 🙂

We are so #thankful to work with some truly incredible people.
Individuals who have endured danger, trauma and hostility. Who, every day, are courageous in just keeping on going despite the uncertainty of their futures. Thank you for demonstrating how heroic people can be 🧡
We had a fantastic time at the Nottingham Cultural Festival a few Sundays back. We shared about NAT's great work and even advertised our Clothes Bank onstage! 🎤
Thank you to the organisers, the volunteers who helped out, and everyone who attended 😊

Hi @RobertJenrick,
All children deserve to feel welcome & safe.
That's why these children have been drawing pictures to send to detention centres to replace the ones that you ordered to be painted over.
We do not stand for your cruelty. We stand #TogetherWithRefugees always.
We start this week by being #thankful for these incredible illustrations of our Clothes Bank!

Our #fridayupdate comes with a heartwarming story from our Host Project.
A Host guest visited his former hosts and told them he was marrying his childhood sweetheart. He had remained in contact with his fiancée, whom he had left when he had moved to the UK around 8 years ago 😊
