Building Connections Through Language
At English for All, we offer free, person-centred English lessons to refugees and asylum seekers. Our classes help build confidence, improve communication, and foster a sense of belonging within the community.

About us
At English for All, we believe that learning English opens doors to new opportunities and connections. Our free, inclusive lessons are designed to build confidence, improve communication, and help people feel at home in their communities.
Through our supportive classes and conversation groups, participants not only gain language skills but also form friendships, access practical support, and feel empowered to take steps toward their goals. Whether it’s preparing for work, further study, or simply navigating everyday life, our dedicated volunteers are here to help each person thrive.
