Use of volunteers The Charity have some regular volunteers who help in the refugee support office. The Charity also depends or) many volunteers to perform its events and activities throughout the year. AcfiviTIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS Despite the challenging and difficult year, we have all had, RR has continued to provide its services whether through direct contact (while observing social distancing rules) or online during lockdown periods. Rethink Rebuild Society IRRI has also continued to raise its standards of operation (policies, documentation and administrative procedures) to stay in line with the requirements of the charity status it acquired in 2018. Moreover, RR purchased a property with the aim of turning it into fUgee- friendly easy-to-rent accommodation. Since then, we have converted the property in 4 flats which are being used as refugee-friendly easy-to-rent accommodation. The property will also serve as a source of Stable income for the charity. Direct services: These consist of the following services.. Refugee support.. Our refugee support staff and volunteers are in a very unique cultural and linguistlc Position which enables them to act as intermediaries between refugees and the various government bodies and service providers they have to interact with. This year, we have managed to help over ILKK) refugees settle in and integrate into their new environment. Open twice a week, our Refugee Support Office provides support in such vital areas as- benefits, employment, education, housing and healthcare. Most of our clients have no one else to turn to for help in these areas due to linguistic and cultural barriers. They often tell us that they find our service extremely beneficial because it is convenient, friendly and accessible. .1 regulorly visit the Refugee Support Office run by Rethink Rebuild Society. They reod letter5 for me and help me Undetand whot I need to do with them., Ahmad, Syrian refugee. 'Rethink Rebuild always onswer my question5 on the phone ond do not hesltote to present all the help they can offer.. Marwa, Syrian refugee. Cultural and educational: An important part of our mission is to build the capacities of Syrian refugees in the UK in order to help them become independent and better integrated in the British society. Therefore. we have always tried to deliver activities that raise the level of awareness especially among new arrivals to the country. Thi5 year. however, the COVID-19 pandemic meant that no physical gatherings were possible. We tried to compensate for the 1055 by organising
online events and webinars. Here are some ofthe most important events organised by RR in 2020- 2021.. l. Celebrating Syria Festi¥al.- This event has become an annual fixture on our calendar. The biggest of its kind in Europe, the festival celebrates a rarely seen face of Syria and its civilisation. Organised for the 4 year in a row. the festival combines exhibitions. films, theatre. live music, talks by writers. panel discussions and interactive art workshops explorin8 Syrian art and culture. However, the list of this yearfs edition wa5 restricted by the fact that it was a completely online event. One silver liningof this was that people from around the globe were able to join the events. This yearfs festival was funded by the Arts Council England. 2. Information sessions.. The topics for these sessions focused this year on the pandemic we are livin8 through. Some of the titles are= What is the corona viru5 and how does it spread? Psychological wellbeing= 2 5e55ions Eating habits during Ramadan and lockdown.. 2 5e5510ns Dental care during lockdown Back pain management Breast Cancer awarene5S Bullying in schools Family life during lockdown Studying at home Healthcare.. navigating the NHS system Future careers 5 5e55ions: En8ineering, Medicine.

Syrian refugee. .1 hove been living in the UKfor o long time. but the Life in the UK course tought me so mony new things about the country. its history ond its troditions., Sara, Manchester resident. Social and communlty engagement activitles: Some of RR'S most popular activities are the social gatherings we organise for Syrian refugees. However. because of the cov119 pandemic. we have not been able to run any social gatherings. Education Project: The Iqraa School project is an education projert runnin8 inside Syria fully funded by the Syrian community in Manchester and their friends. The implementation of the project in Syria is done through Syria Relief Charity. Iqraa school provides education for children aged 6-15 and has been running since September 2014. The children attendin8 the SC01 benefit from other forms of sUPPOrt such as medical and psychological support. Based in northern Syria, the school plays a much-needed role in the absence of official education in the reEiOn.
Adv¢xacy: RR continues to advocate for refugee rights and stand for their causes. We have continued to meet and write to policy maker to inform about the situation in Syria and it5 implications for refugees in the UK. We have also campai8ned against the unfair appointment System provided by Supra Steria on behalf of the Home Office which is forcing many people to pay hundreds of pounds just to book bio-metric appointments for their, otherwise free of charge. Settlement applications. We received positive feedback and currently the situation with Supra Steri5 ha5 improved albeit slightly. RR also constantly issues press releases and position statements with re8ards to current issues concerning the welfare of refugees in the UK. Research: RR has previously participated and supervised many research projects about the topic of Syria and the Syrian refugees. Over the past year. we finalised the research projects 'Agein8 Equalv which aimed at understanding how both Salford and Oldham can be made a good place in which to grow older for Syrians. The findings of thi5 research suggest that the overlapping between the daily experiences of elderly Syrians and their experience as refugees in a new country shapes their perception on their surroundings.
