Operations and Development Manager at Foundation 92, Matt Agnew, said “We’re proud to support and add value to the current provision in place for local refugees who require help and guidance on adapting to life in Greater Manchester. As a Foundation, we believe in a community for all, and to have supported refugees via our inclusive offer, to help create a safe place and for participants to feel part of something, has been very important to us.”
