Listening. Learning. Leading Together

Shpresa Programme has officially launched the Listening Campaign 2026 across all our projects.
Your voice, experiences, and ideas matter and will help shape the future of our community together.

We want to hear:
- What worked well for you last year
- What we can improve
- How we can grow and lead together
Together we are stronger. Together we create change. ❤️



Duke dëgjuar. Duke mësuar. Duke udhëhequr së bashku 🙏

Shpresa Programme ka nisur zyrtarisht Fushatën e Dëgjimit 2026 në të gjitha projektet tona.
Zëri, përvojat dhe idetë tuaja kanë rëndësi dhe do të ndihmojnë në formësimin e së ardhmes së komunitetit tonë së bashku.

Duam të dëgjojmë:
- Çfarë ka funksionuar mirë për ju gjatë vitit të kaluar
- Çfarë mund të përmirësojmë
- Si mund të rritemi dhe të udhëheqim së bashku

Së bashku jemi më të fortë. Së bashku krijojmë ndryshim. ❤️

Listening. Learning. Leading together.

At Shpresa Programme, we have been holding a series of Listening Campaign consultation sessions with women, young people, families, supplementary school students, and community members to hear directly about their experiences and help shape future priorities for our community.

The feedback has been incredibly powerful and inspiring. Participants shared how Shpresa has helped reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, build confidence, leadership and skills, while creating strong friendships and a real sense of belonging.

We also heard clearly about the need for more learning opportunities, digital skills, support for children and young people, wellbeing activities, and safe spaces where women, families, and young people can continue to grow and thrive.

Most importantly, these sessions reminded us that when communities are listened to, people feel empowered, valued, and stronger together.

A huge thank you to everyone who shared their honest reflections and lived experiences. Your voice remains at the heart of Shpresa. ✨

So proud of our incredible 👏🏻👏🏻Immigration Champions presenting today at the Migrant Law Conference 2026.

Many arrived in the UK as children facing fear, uncertainty, and countless barriers. Today, they are studying at top universities, leading change, and using their voices to challenge injustice and inspire others.
From surviving the system to helping change the system this generation is shining like stars. ⭐🌟🌟🌟

Thank you to Fairbairn Foundation and Hamlyn Foundation The National Lottery Community Fund for believing in the leadership and power of young people.

Yesterday at the Migrant Mass, our young people stood with courage, truth, and dignity.

Jessica and Arlinda spoke not just for themselves, but for thousands of asylum seekers and refugees forced to live in limbo waiting, surviving, but never giving up.

They reminded us what it means to leave everything behind because of danger. To miss your grandparents, your family, your home. To arrive here with hope… and then be told to wait. To survive on £9 a week. To spend years in a system that doesn’t allow you to contribute, to grow, to live with dignity.

And yet they stand. They speak.
They lead.

This is not just a moment.
This is a call for system change.

We are so proud of our young people for raising their voices and refusing to be invisible.

Support the Right to Work campaign. Stand with us. Be part of the change.

Poem 💪🏼 Right to Work

We are not numbers,
We are not a case,
We are people with dreams
Looking for a place.

We came with hope,
Not just to survive but to live,
With skills in our hands,
With so much to give.

Don’t keep us waiting,
Don’t keep us small,
Give us the right to work,
Give us a chancePaul Hamlyn FoundationghtToWork
