🎓 A very special Graduation Day at Maliatko!

Our Maliatko Family Under 5 Stay & Play community celebrated a very exciting milestone — 10 of our wonderful graduates are getting ready to start school this September! 📚✨

We marked the occasion with a lovely graduation party full of games, bubbles, laughter and a picnic together. It was such a special moment for the children, parents, carers and our whole Maliatko community. 🫧🧺

For many of our families, Maliatko has become much more than a weekly Stay & Play, but a welcoming space where little ones can make friends, play, learn and get creative while staying connected to the Ukrainian language, songs, stories and culture they know and love. 🇺🇦

It is also a place for parents and carers to meet other families, share experiences, find support and feel part of a community here in London. 🤝💛

To our 10 Maliatko graduates — we wish you lots of happiness, new friendships and exciting discoveries as you start school this September! 🎒🌟

📚Celebrating our ESOL 55+ learners!

As our ESOL 55+ classes finish for the summer, we’re celebrating the progress of 13 learners across our Beginner and Pre-Intermediate groups. 💛

Throughout the year, our learners have been building their English skills, confidence and independence through weekly classes at New Arrivals Support CIC.

For many, improving their English means much more than learning a language — it helps them feel more confident speaking with professionals, accessing services, communicating in everyday situations and connecting with people in their local community.

We’re so proud of the dedication and progress our learners have shown throughout the year. 🌟

A huge thank you to our teacher and caseworker for supporting the groups on their learning journey.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back when our ESOL 55+ classes return in September! 💬📖

🎾 We’re delighted to announce our new summer sports programme: Getting Active Tennis!

Delivered by New Arrivals Support CIC, this fun and welcoming project will introduce children and young people from refugee backgrounds to tennis, physical activity and new social opportunities. The programme is open to young people aged 10–19 living in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Lewisham Council or surrounding areas.

Across August and September, participants will have the opportunity to take part in 24 planned tennis sessions.

No previous tennis or sporting experience is required — complete beginners are very welcome! All equipment, including tennis rackets, will be provided.
This is NOT a professional coaching programme.

Our aim is to create a relaxed, enjoyable and supportive environment where young people can:
🎾 Try tennis for the first time
💪 Become more active
🌟 Build confidence
🤝 Meet and connect with other young people
☀️ Enjoy a positive summer experience

Sessions will mainly take place during evening hours, with all dates and times planned in advance and shared with registered participants.

As places are limited, we are looking for participants who can attend regularly and commit to at least 75% of the sessions. Priority will be given to young people who are able to make this commitment.

▶️ Registration https://forms.office.com/e/DTJk4SrH8M

* Places are limited. Once the project reaches capacity, any additional registrations will be added to our waiting list, and we will contact families if a place becomes available.

It was a privilege for New Arrivals Support CIC to host Greenwich Borough of Sanctuary meeting, bringing together organisations and community groups working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich to welcome and support refugees and migrants.

We were delighted to welcome Cllr David Gardner, Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, alongside so many familiar faces, partners and friends from across Greenwich’s voluntary and community sector.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, shared updates on their work, exchanged ideas and reflected on how we can continue working together to make Greenwich a welcoming and supportive borough for people rebuilding their lives here.

One of the most meaningful parts of the meeting was hearing directly from people with lived experience. Several of our service users joined us to share their experiences of arriving in the UK, settling in Greenwich and finding their feet in a completely new community.

One participant shared:
“I don’t know what I would do without New Arrivals Support CIC. When I arrived, I knew nothing. I didn’t speak English and I didn’t know what to do or where to go. Through the 50+ project, I found friends and a community. Through ESOL, I learned English — and today I can stand here and speak to you in English and share my experience. My caseworkers have been incredibly important throughout my resettlement.”

Hearing this in a room full of people committed to making Greenwich a place of sanctuary was incredibly powerful. And we’re proud to play our part in making Greenwich a borough where new arrivals can feel welcomed, supported and part of the community.

Another Friday, another opportunity to slow down. 💙

Our Ukrainian youth project swapped phones and revision notes for paintbrushes and pottery. 🏺

At first glance, it might look like “just” a pottery painting session. But for us, it’s so much more than that.

These workshops are about giving young people time to pause, be creative, make their own choices, and simply enjoy being teenagers. There were no right or wrong answers, no pressure to be perfect—just a chance to relax, chat, laugh, and create something that felt uniquely theirs.

It was amazing to see how everyone started with similar pottery pieces, yet every single one turned out completely different. A reminder that we all see the world differently, and that’s something worth celebrating. 💛

After a busy exam period, this was exactly the kind of calm, creative space our young people deserved. We can’t wait to collect the finished pottery and see the final results once they’ve been glazed!

A huge thank you to the for making this series of mental health and wellbeing workshops possible through Leader award grant.

✨ Sometimes, the biggest impact comes from simply giving young people a safe space to create.

Finding meaningful employment is about more than securing a job. It creates stability, financial independence and opportunities for people and families to build stronger futures.

Through our new partnership with GLLaB’s Connect to Work programme, eligible clients supported by New Arrivals Support CIC can now be referred to specialist employment support tailored to their individual needs.

Whether someone is taking their first steps into the UK job market or looking to rebuild their career, the programme offers personalised support throughout the journey, including initial assessments, CV development, interview preparation, employer engagement and up to 12 months of in-work support.

By creating this new referral pathway, we’re making it easier for the people we support to access expert guidance, overcome barriers to employment and move towards long-term financial independence.

Thank you to the GLLaB team for working with us to expand the support available to our communities and help more people access opportunities that can transform lives.

We’re delighted to celebrate this semester’s Jack Petchey Achievement Award winners from our Ukrainian Youth Project — Kateryna and Platon!

Chosen by their peers, Kateryna and Platon have made a lasting impact on our group through their kindness, dedication, and willingness to support others. Whether it’s offering encouragement, welcoming new members, lending a helping hand, or simply being a good friend, they consistently contribute to creating a positive and inclusive environment for everyone.

The Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Award recognises young people who go the extra mile, and Kateryna and Platon embody exactly that spirit. Their commitment to the project, readiness to help others, and the friendships they have built within the group have not gone unnoticed.

👏 Congratulations, Kateryna and Platon! We are incredibly proud of you and look forward to seeing all that you achieve in the future.
