Xenia is a charity that brings together women from different backgrounds to connect, share experiences and learn. Specifically, they offer weekly sessions where women can come and practice their English. Xenia enables women with different English language levels to connect with people they would not otherwise meet and to learn about each other’s perspectives through shared learning and friendship.

Sessions are held every Saturday morning at 10am at Newington Green Meeting House. Sessions are led by a facilitator and focus on a variety of topics, anything from local politics to cooking. Sometimes, food is brought, and a variety of group activities are organised while practicing English. Children are welcome to come along with the women.
