SPAT-C radio interview at BBC Radio Sheffield

SPAT-C staff Amineh Salehi (refugee integration officer - EU / Home Office Project ) and Maxwell Ayamba (Environment Officer) along with Sharin (an Iranian trainee) were interviewed by Andy of BBC Radio Sheffield

Amineh interviewed

Amineh - Discussed the refugee & asylum services offered by SPAT-C and the womens group. “We are trying to bring ladies into society to to let them know about the various aspects of British society and what they can do here”

Andy - "How can you do that ?"

Amineh - "They don’t know anything i..e how to get a doctor, they need to know what to do. We are taking them to Castleton as an example to show the different types of activities that are available. It is very good for relaxation and peace of mind".

Andy – "How did they here about SPAT-C ?"

Amineh – "SPAT-C has a long history of over 10 years of working with the communities, and is well known through word of mouth, and there are no Iranian organisations in Sheffield".

MAx Maxwell - Talked about the SPAT-C Environment Project (SHEBEEN)– “There is lack of information amongst ethnic minorities in Sheffield about the environment, so we are helping them to get information and get involved, organising environmental events and outings, to over come the barriers. To get people comfortable with the environment so that they can get involved in what is mainly a white enclave."
Sharin interviewed Sharin – A typical SPAT-C trainee, gave examples of what she is doing at SPAT-C – " I do English course, training course and art work course, I enjoy the outside trips a lot, that teach me a lot about this country, how people live here and what they can do. I am very greatful to SPAT-C for what they do for the community".
