Campaign movement Friends Without Borders is putting on the event at Portsmouth Friendship Centre, in Elm Grove, Southsea, on Sunday, September 18.

Organisers say that following June’s EU referendum, there are likely to be significant numbers of EU citizens in the Portsmouth area ‘with anxieties about their status here as Britain plans to leave the EU’.
