A MNEST Y WO R K SH O P
Coborn welcomed Laura Francis from
Amnesty International who came in to
speak about the work she does and how
the young people can aspire and
contribute . Here is what she had to say
about The Coborn:
“Thank you again so much for such a great
morning on Friday. It was wonderful to meet the
young people, yourself and the other lovely staff. I
found the session hugely rewarding and inspiring
and I do hope it had a positive impact for the
young people too.
The whole atmosphere of the centre made a
profound impact on me - it's clear you are doing
amazing work there.
I've attached a photo of the card just before I
posted it this morning, along with an explanatory
note - although it's important to be very realistic
about expectations, and we normally would not
expect it, it will be interesting to see if there is any
kind of response.
I would love to come back to run a similar session
in a few months, as you were suggesting, and it
feels like there could be some interesting
opportunities with survivors at Freedom From
Torture as well.
COMING SOON

Find out how our workshop with
‘dogtrusts’ went, with visits from

have in store for our summer end
of term event.
Let's keep in touch and thank you again, to you
and everyone at the centre, for such an inspiring
morning.
Kind regards
Laura”
