Xenia is an Ancient Greek word and concept of a hospitality based in generosity and reci-procity - particularly towards strangers. Since its founding in 2016 Xenia has welcomed hundreds of women from over 86 countries. Every Saturday for the past 7 years Xenia has created a safe space for participants to come together, practise their English in an informal setting, make lasting friends and contribute to a unique community - where everyone has something to learn and everyone has something to teach. We are currently recruiting for new volunteers for Childcare Support. Join our team!
