Meeting to help migrant workers
A meeting has been set up in Lincolnshire to bring together migrant workers of all nationalities living in the county.

The event, organised by the Community Lincs Building Bridges programme, is being held at Skirbeck Community Hall, Boston, on Monday night.

Rural officer Alona Tirzite said the group wanted to hear how community life could be improved.

It is hoped it will be the first of a series of events.

"What we would like to do is to discuss common issues, find out what people want and ask them what they would like to see happening in the village halls," said Ms Tirzite.

"We'd like to hear what they're interested in and provide information on various topics."

Community Lincs is a charity that supports communities in rural areas in the county.
