COMPASS CONNECT

Compass Connect is our online English programme, supporting young people from over 25 different locations in the UK. The programme is vital in supporting new arrivals and isolated young people who have yet to build a community. Connect has become the entry level/bedrock of the charity. We are in a unique position to be able to offer immediate support the same week the young person is referred to us. 

Due to increasingly high demand, we have expanded the programme to add a new ‘Empowered’ class, alongside our 'Beginners' and 'Improvers' classes. The Empowered class covers topics such as ‘Your rights as a refugee and asylum seeker’ and utilises debating as a creative tool to develop communication skills and build confidence.
