British Refugee Council - meeting

Meeting with the lead project worker Richard and David, family support worker was daunting. They asked me to meet them in there office to discuss a plan of what I intended to do. I think the hard part was going to a new place that was fairly large and pitches an idea. It is something that I have never done before and was very unsure about how to approach it. so I went in with printed out project proposals and digital mockups of what I intended to produce with the clients.  I felt like the meeting went well but they did mention that at the council they don't have the facilities to run any workshops so would it be possible to run them at uni. it defiantly gave me some perspective on the vulnerability of the group. Realising that I have underestimated this and learning that the council helps the people in the very early stages of entering the UK did scare me slightly. It meant that is a higher possibility that they may not speak English and that they have only just recently fled their home country so difficulties and seeking asylum in the UK that they faced there are still fresh and potentially still ongoing. So it is vital that the project that I run with them has a positive outlook that does not focus at all on the past. David and Richard were both happy with the project idea and seemed happy to let me run the workshops at uni and it should be easily possible.
