The news is currently full of stories of human suffering through war, persecution and trafficking. This human suffering touches us all, and is also on our doorstep as people seeking asylum arrive in the Tees Valley every week and people are caught in the chain of human trafficking.
In the next few weeks two important events will be taking place at the Trinity Centre in North Ormesby to look at issues of human trafficking and also how we can support people seeking asylum in our communities.
- Making Middlesbrough a Traffick-Free Zone Tuesday 30th September 7-9pm
- How can you and I welcome asylum seekers in our Church? Saturday 11th October 10-4pm
