with Dr Jeff Morgan (NW regional City of Sanctuary co-ordinator and mental health practitioner ) Jeff will talk about how we can help ourselves cope with the pressures of living in lock-down with special reference to refugees and asylum seekers.

Finally we are developing a multimedia project Covid Memories: Looking at the Virus Through the Eyes of Children and Young People.
Looking at the Virus
Through the Eyes of
Children and Young People
In so many ways the Coronavirus is changing our lives. Although it is not at the forefront of government and scientific discussions, children and young people have been affected by the pandemic.
Preston COS would like to give the children and young people of refugees and asylum seekers to share their
experiences
feelings
memories
impressions
We would like to use your children’s contributions as part of a visual record of what is happening in Preston.

Please share it with refugee and asylum seeking families you know or work with and encourage them to take part.
