About the Project

The EasyStepUK Community Integration Programme supports new immigrants as they adapt to life in the UK. This project is generously funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and is designed to promote inclusion, reduce social isolation, and build stronger, more connected communities.

We provide:

• Workshops on housing, job searching, financial management, and understanding UK culture

• One-to-one career counselling and support

• Community events that connect immigrants and local residents

• Online resources for those who cannot attend in person

Our programme focuses on early-stage support to help immigrants especially families overcome barriers to integration, gain confidence, and work toward long-term success in the UK.

Activities will include:

• Weekly walking groups and nature-based sessions in local parks

• Chair-based fitness and gentle yoga for older migrants

• Women-only wellbeing sessions (stretching, light movement, and body awareness)
