Recently, our Everyone’s Evenlode team have been working with Refugee Resource, Oxford – whose mission is for refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants to build meaningful lives as part of the wider community. They offer a range of services including countryside walks designed to relieve mental and emotional distress, enabling their clients to build new lives and integrate successfully into their new communities.
The Everyone’s Evenlode team, supported by the Cotswold Voluntary Wardens, worked with Blenheim Palace to arrange a group day out there this week for Refugee Resource. Blenheim Palace kindly provided a tour guide, who was able to arrange a train ride for the children, as well as an opportunity to play in the new adventure park. Those attending enjoyed a walk, lunch, ice cream, a hedged maze, and the sunny surroundings of the palace grounds. In the hot weather this week, the children particularly relished splashing about in the cooling water features!
