Project manager Emma Crossley said:

“We are inviting the local community to come and celebrate with us whilst learning more about other groups and activities on offer in the area.”

The event, which will also include a women’s group stall, is being held at Christ Church, in Armley Ridge Road, on Saturday, 7 July 2018, from 12pm-5pm.

Meeting Point works with refugees and asylum seekers towards social integration and also provides support around health, employment, family support or food provision. It also aims to reduce negative stereotypes and break down barriers in the local community.
