Seven Hills has chosen Our Second Home as its focused charity for the year.

OSH is a youth movement that empowers refugees and migrants to flourish in the place that they call home.

It works like this: young refugees and asylum seekers come on an OSH residential trip. They cook together. Play games. Learn dances from each other's cultures. Many had their childhoods taken away from them and at OSH they just get to be kids.

The graduates of these trips take part in leadership training and go on to be the ones who take the reins. They help lead the movement.

This is just the beginning of a positive cycle that just needs one big push. OSH is building the next generation of leaders from refugee backgrounds. These young migrants will become role models and leaders in our movement and in local communities, supporting those coming after.

Throughout 2023/24, Seven Hills will aim to raise £3000 to support the next cohort of OSH leaders. If we beat this target, we'll aim to raise more and help to deliver further OSH activity.
