Community groups help Afghans living at army base

Available for over a year

Community groups have stepped in to help Afghan families who have spent months living at a military base in Leicestershire. The families have been given sanctuary because their work for UK forces during the war puts them at risk of reprisals. Although some families have been at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) base for a year, accessing work or education is difficult because families can be allocated a house anywhere in the country at short notice. Âé¶¹Éç Leicester reporter Helen McCarthy has been to find out how the families are being supported by community groups.
