We support culturally diverse adults in Kingston, Merton, Richmond and Hounslow by advancing the education and integration of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants who do not speak English as a first language and who also experience social isolation.
We’re pleased to be taking part in the Hounslow Together Speaker Series on 18 February 2026 at University of West London.
The session explores Demographic Change and how Hounslow can respond - with expert speakers and a local case study from LEAH.
