Salvation Army refugee centre
We created this centre to give people who are forced to leave their homes the opportunity to find communication, hobbies, friends and support. Our centre is staffed by volunteers who can lead various activities, classes, workshops and lectures.
Here you can simply read a book in a cosy atmosphere or find information online.
You can give a class, workshop or lecture and teach others what you know.
