Film Screening | The VisitorWhen: Sunday 9 Feb 2020 at 7pm
Where: The Riverhouse Barn Walton-on-Thames This moving short film tells the story of Khaleel – a Syrian refugee who was resettled in Elmbridge almost two years ago. He talks about what it was like to leave his home, how he’s been welcomed into this community and the importance of his allotment in providing connection to the past and hope for the future. The film also features Elmbridge CAN Chair, Steve Wells, and there will be a Q&A with Khaleel, Steve and the film’s producers, Sam and Liam, after the screening. Entry is free. Drinks available from the bar. Please email contact@elmbridgecan.org.uk if you intend to come so that we can ensure we have sufficient seats. |

This course is highly recommended for all those who volunteer directly with our families or are interested in doing so. If you’d like to attend please email us. |
