Individuals arriving for the Citizenship Ceremony last night had been previous clients of TREC and were concerned that they could not be with us due to having to go in to the Town Hall to collect their certificates. Texts were received by TREC officers informing them that following the ceremony they would be joining in opposing the funds being removed from the very organisation who got them to the point of being able to receive the said certificate!!
There was applause as Leicester’s City of Sanctuary told the audience that the very organisation that they refer clients to is the organisation being threatened with funding cuts. City of Sanctuary acknowledged that there was no other voluntary organisation with the skills and expertise required to address the problems and issues faced by those very individuals who were now confident enough to take a citizenship test and pass.
