Palace for Life Foundation and Surrey FA are delighted to launch a new Women and Girls Refugee Football Session which aims to support Croydon refugees settling into their new homes.
Taking place every Saturday, the session will give football opportunities to local refugees who may have had to flee conflict and persecution, and are now attempting to rebuild their lives in a new country.
Aiming to help individuals settle in the community, the sessions will offer support and structure to their lives, especially important after a potentially traumatic and unsettling journey to the UK.
However, there are several barriers that could prevent those who need these sessions the most from attending.
