In a picturesque village in the East of England sits The Grange: a 1750s-rectory surrounded by ten acres of meadow, a lush lawn and a flourishing vegetable garden. Barn owls and kingfishers share their home with domestic ponies and sheep; guinea pigs and chickens can be heard squeaking and scratching at feeding time. This is where Ben and Sophie host retreats for refugees and asylum-seekers – providing a place of peace and welcome for people who have fled violence and war.
This English farm opened its doors to refuges 6 years ago. People come here to: Sing, paint, cook, practice English or just relax.
