Join Upbeat Communities as we raise essential funds to welcome refugees!

Since last year's Welcome Banquet, we've:

• delivered Welcome Boxes to over 100 asylum seekers
• provided 225 nights of accommodation for destitute asylum seekers who would otherwise be homeless
• taught over 200 free English classes
• resettled 64 Syrian refugees in Derbyshire
• run hundreds of training events, days out, baby showers, Bible studies and community meals for our international friends

The impact is huge:

• "Upbeat is important for people from different countries because it’s a good place to learn English and meet different people. Thank you for your help!"
• "I lost my family back home but Upbeat makes me feel at home and makes me feel like I am part of a family again."
• "Upbeat is very important to me because I have made new friends here. I didn’t know anyone or how to find new friends or anything about the rules in the UK. I have learnt a lot of things here to help me."
• "Upbeat helped me when I was pregnant – this was good for me because I didn’t know anything about being a parent. Upbeat helped me to find clothes and other things that I would need for my baby."

"I was nothing without Upbeat – if I didn’t come to Upbeat I would stay at home alone all day."

This year's banquet will feature gourmet Indian food, a charity auction, luxury ice cream, a photo booth and a performance from TV comedian & magician John Archer!

Complimentary welcome drink served from 7pm. Cash bar available.
