Bees and Refugees mainly aims to provide workshops for local refugees in Beekeeping and hive making. Moreover, it aims to provide technical and logstical support for interested refugees by supplying them with a starter beekeeping kit including a hive, as well as a space for their hives. The project serves two distinct goals: first of which is environmental; with decreasing Bee populations and the risks that this problem poses, this project would help increasing the local bee population while also supporting a sustainable and organic way for their care. In parallel, Beekeeping can be a therapeutic occupation that provides some extra financial support for the participants in addition to help them overcome anxiety and depression, the project will be open to all interested refugees, with specific focus on women and young adults. In the future, we hope that we will be able to take this project to refugee camps.

The Invisible Café will not have a permanent base, therefore can be set-up in various locations. The community working together, helping each other, finding out ‘what works best for them’ and taking a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Whilst working to combat social isolation and creating jobs or voluntary positions, within The Invisible Café. The Invisible Café, will be located at various community hubs across the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Bishops Creighton House, GLL Better Gyms, the Dawes Road Hub and St Paul's in Hammersmith. The funding we are looking for will go towards hire of the community hubs and help toward the costs of some therapy sessions. Which, we can then pass on to members at a significantly reduced rate. We would like funding for the first 6month of this project after which we believe the project will become self sustainable.
