Introduction<br />
Arriving in a different community or country can be an exciting but<br />
also a challenging experience. Many aspects of daily life and<br />
services may be different here compared to the place you<br />
previously lived. To help you in settling into the local community<br />
this Welcome Pack will try to give you basic information about<br />
local services and how to access them.<br />
This community is very much committed to promoting equality of<br />
opportunity and good relations between the citizens in the local<br />
area. There is a vast amount of information already available and<br />
translated so this Welcome Pack aims to “signpost” the reader to<br />
where further information is available.<br />
This Welcome Pack can be:<br />
• Given to new tenants as part of their sign up by the <strong>Housing</strong><br />
<strong>Executive</strong><br />
• Given to new residents by the local community association<br />
• Given to local Libraries, drop-in centres, doctor’s surgeries,<br />
advice and support providers, dentists, post offices, religious<br />
centres and any other community gathering place.<br />
