    The Journey – A Changing Southampton
    Ep 13 “Support & Change – Secondary Education”

    The 13th episode from our 18 month project ‘The Journey – A Changing Southampton’ made possible by monies received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

    Help! Something the Beatles sang about and something we all need from time to time.

    But what help is available and how do people access it? When you move to a new country – do you even know the number to call for the Police, Fire or Ambulance Service?

    In this week’s episode, Natalie speaks with 3 ‘helpers’ from the local area – Ben Taylor from Hampshire Fire & Rescue, Bella Crawford from Citizens Advice Eastleigh and Fiona Pink from Hampshire & IOW Victim Care Service.

    They discuss the broad range of help available to people in the area – both emergency and non-life threatening plus look at how the organisations themselves have changed over the years to better support new arrivals.

    The Journey – A Changing Southampton
    Ep 11 “Support & Change – Community Groups & Events”

    The 11th episode from our 18 month project ‘The Journey – A Changing Southampton’ made possible by monies received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

    When you move to a new country – how do you stay connected to your roots? What’s the importance of community?

    In this episode of “Support & Change” Natalie speaks with two of Southampton’s social connectors – Professor Michael Ng and Anjali Mavi and learns how people are being brought together both in the physical and virtual world.

    Michael is the chairperson of the Chinese Association of Southampton and Anjali – as well as being a Unity 101 volunteer – is involved in creating and supporting a number of online and real-life gatherings.

    Despite making their personal journeys from two very different countries and cultures – their passion to help and support ALL people is a shared vision.

    When moving to a new country – it’s not just your home that changes…

    Your support network changes. Your day to day routine changes. Even your language changes! (at least for part of the day)


    So what is it like to come to Southampton and join a new school?

    We spoke to four students from Cantell School, along with teacher Kathryn Cox about how pupils are helped to integrate and make new friends.

    We learn about the technology available today and hear how they feel about making their own journeys to Southampton…
