Discover P’s Journey: A story of Survival, Loss and Hope

In celebration of Refugee Week we are proud to share a new animation from MeThree telling the story of P, who fled Afghanistan, lost his brother on the way and arrived in the UK alone with no support. P faced immense challenges, from navigating a new country to coping with deep trauma and loss. His story reflects the difficult journeys many refugee face in search of safety.

With our counselling and practical support, P began to re-build his life and move forward. This animation highlights not just the struggles, but the strength and resilience of people like P and how with the right help, they can survive, heal and thrive.
