Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page..

I am the chair of a charity called Tunbridge Wells Welcomes Refugees. We support Syrian families living in our community.

We want to help the families to obtain their driving licence in order to facilitate their access to jobs opportunities and independence. 

I would like  to raise money towards driving lessons for women refugees. In our community six women want to pass their driving test and three of them have already passed their theory test. Some families live in rural locations where public transport is poor. Being able to drive will give them a better chance to find a job and help them to become independent.

Thank you, 

Bonjour, 

Je préside une association caritative anglaise qui s'appelle Tunbridge Wells Welcomes Refugees. Nous soutenons les familles syriennes vivant  dans notre département. 

Nous voulons aider ces familles à obtenir leur permis de conduire afin de faciliter l'accès à l'emploi et à l'indépendance. 

Je voudrais récolter des fonds afin de financer des  leçons de conduite pour les femmes réfugiées. Dans notre communauté, six femmes veulent passer leur permis de conduire et trois d'entre elles ont déjà réussi le code. Quelques unes vivent dans des villages ruraux mal desservis par les transport publics. Pouvoir conduire leur permettrait d'accéder à plus d'offres d'emploi ainsi qu'à plus d'indépendance. 

Merci

Florence
