    You are welcome in Reading! We are here to help you on the topics below

  • Welcome Reading is part of a community project funded by the UK Government’s Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) Welcome Programme.

    Our aim is to help those moving to the UK to discover a welcoming face, be welcomed into the community, and find everything they need in Reading and the local area. Welcome Reading was set up in 2022 by Coffee & Craft, a community group under Wycliffe Baptist Church.
