New Arrivals

A warm welcome, fostering an inclusive environment

Welcoming refugees into our community is not just an act of kindness, it is a commitment to building a more inclusive and cohesive society. Through our New Arrivals Support Programme, we strive to provide comprehensive support to refugees living in Laois, ensuring they have the resources and assistance needed to thrive in their new environment, including English language support.
