English conversation cafe

New North Road Baptist church has a history over the years of welcoming people from many different countries and cultures and we have been enriched greatly by this. Through this aspect of our life we are seeking to follow the teaching of Jesus to “welcome the stranger”. Since 2001 we have held a FREE drop-in on Tuesday mornings from 10.30 till 12.30. which is called ‘Reach’, for asylum seekers and refugees. This is open to all, from any faith or none. Here we offer friendship over a cup of tea or coffee, English classes, hot food, occasional celebrations and signposting to advice agencies.
