Services to support refugees arriving in West Norfolk will be up and running next week.
A range of specialist services will be available at the council’s head office at King’s Court, where an area will be devoted to ensuring people are comfortable and cared for and gain access to all the help they need. Additional services will be available at the library.
Cllr Stuart Dark MBE, leader of the council said: “We can only imagine what war refugees arriving in the UK have gone through. We are putting this in place at our head office because that is where people will be able to access prompt help from us, Careline, Lily, DWP, housing services and local migrant charities, as well as interpreting services.
“Working across the public and charity sector we’re doing everything we can to make their arrival in King’s Lynn a positive experience. We’re doing everything we can to make sure that people know they have reached a safe and welcoming haven.”
