On a beautiful afternoon and in the midst of preparing for a children’s workshop in this small cosy space, Angela Ireland made us a coffee, sat us down and told us how and why the cafe started. <br> <br> MILK Cafe is a cafe that provides a safe, supportive environment where refugee and migrant women in the Glasgow community can receive employability support through opportunities to gain appropriate skills, experience and confidence. While gaining work experience both within the cafe and in its related activities, individuals receive continuing support from us as they prepare for moving on to other mainstream settings.<br> <br> The amazing and ever increasing list of support classes and workshops includes help with English language, personal development, form filling and interview skills. <br> <br> <a href="https://www.refugeevoicesscotland.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/IMG_20170327_144908sm.png"></a><br> <br> MILK is also used by various local groups and individuals for meetings, talks and pop-up events and is already a valuable community resource.<br> <br> Get along to 452 Victoria Road, Glasgow G42 8YU and see what’s on offer.
