Asylum seekers in South Tyneside are being given the chance to express their creativity with a new project at The Customs House.
Earlier in the year, The Customs House in South Shields set up weekly 'Chill and Chat' sessions in order to promote looking after your mental health through the creative arts.
For this latest project, The Customs House have worked with CREST (Compact for Racial Equality South Tyneside ) to bring a dozen men together that are living in the area to make photography and videography projects that tell their different stories.
