JRS UK has grown so much with Sarah as our Director. 9 years ago, we were providing informal support to refugee friends. Today, we have grown to provide a wide range of holistic services for people seeking sanctuary in the UK. ✨From all of us at JRS UK: Thank you Sarah! ✨
I say goodbye this week to @JRSUK after 9 yrs as director. So much to cherish from my time here! Friendships, inspiring people, brilliant staff & volunteer team! On Tuesday, a refugee who is a portrait artist who works in fabric gave me a goodbye gift she had created. I love it!
