Easter family fun
With schools on holiday for Easter it was time for another fun packed event for the New Neighbours Together families – chocolate galore, crafting and planting.

New Neighbours Together is a community-based charity providing welcome and support to asylum seekers and refugees in Burnley and the surrounding area
We offer advice and support, group social activities, distribution of quality second hand household goods and clothes and English tuition
Welcome to Burnley!
Burnley is a welcoming place and our charity is a good example of that. People who are claiming or have been granted asylum have been through a lot before they arrive in our town, often with very little to their name. Starting a new life in a strange country can be bewildering and complicated. We want to ensure our new neighbours settle in and lead happy and productive lives. To do that we provide friendship, advice and a wide range of support services.
About us
New Neighbours Together started working with asylum seekers and refugees in Burnley in 2016. We provide practical support and advice, as well as a space for sharing food, culture, language and friendship. There is so much we can learn from each other, enriching Burnley with our mutual respect and understanding.
Get involved
Have you got some spare time? Are you interested in people from other cultures? Have you got good quality clothing and household items to donate? There are so many ways that you can help the asylum seekers and refugees in Burnley and we're always looking for new volunteers to help us out.
