A project supporting refugees' reading skills is the fourth recipient of the Eddie Byers Fund Awards for 2017.

An innovative English UK fair which included Italian secondary school teachers as well as agents and member centres was so popular that extra places were created.

The fair, in Milan, was designed to use the power of school teachers as influencers by giving them more information on studying with English UK, before introducing them to educators and reputable Italian agents.

A charity with the motto "Communicate to Integrate" has been awarded one of the first Eddie Byers awards from English UK.

Agents from markets around the world are keen to work with English UK member centres they visited during a tour of east and central England in October.

When asylum-seekers and refugees arrive in the North-West, it is often to Asylum Link in Liverpool that they come for support.
