Refugees fleeing Syria to UK: 'I've got a mortgage, a house, a car - we're not trouble'
Esther, 17, fled Syria in 2014 and says she initially found it hard to make friends
More Than 17,000 refugees who fled the Syrian war have settled in Britain over The Past five years.
Of those, many have had to work hard in overcoming cultural changes as they try to forge a new Life for themselves.
Another 3,000 refugees are expected to arrive by the end of 2020 under.
Three displaced refugees tell the BBC of their experiences of integrating and nestling into British society.
'Eat fish on Fridays' Ghani fled two wars in Kuwait and Syria before resettling in HuddersfieldFleeing A War -torn country once is bad enough, but to experience it a second Time Was even more traumatic for 37-year-old Ghani.
The Kuwaiti-born barber escaped conflict in his native country, with His Family , and had to start over again In Syria .
But resettling was a struggle, he said, having encountered a spell of homelessness. The stress resulted in his father dying from a Heart Attack .
Then years later, in 2011, it happened all over again.
"We worked hard to build a new Life In Syria . It was a difficult and hard situation. I had My Own barbershop, then war started again In Syria .
"It was fire everywhere. "
The 37-year-old professional barber has dreams of opening a "barber academy"Ghani fled to Jordan with his mum and Three Sisters , one of whom has severe learning disabilities, and lived there for three years before uprooting to Huddersfield in 2016.
"I feel 19 July 2016 was like my new birthday. I had a new Life .
"I don't care what people say about Huddersfield, it's safe and I feel at home. "
Ghani, who has dreams of opening a "barber academy", said the community felt "like a Big Family " and had helped him to learn English, get a job and integrate into society.
"It was a Culture Shock . We knew nothing, everything was Different - Language , how we talk, Body Language .
"But people in Huddersfield are really lovely and friendly. They helped me a lot to learn about British culture, like eating fish Every Friday . "
"The community in Huddersfield has taught me British culture"Despite remaining "open-minded and positive" about a future in teaching, Ghani said he still experienced "flashbacks of The War from when I was in Kuwait".
"I have that Little Boy inside me who's shouting and crying because we Lost Everything .
"I see blood everywhere. "
Bully 'called me a terrorist' The Hull College student says she has aspirations of being a fashion designerUnlike Ghani, 17-year-old Esther had a rather more sombre experience of integrating into British culture.
The teenager fled Syria in September 2014 and moved to Lebanon with her family.
Being displaced in a neighbouring country was "very challenging and very hard", She Said .
"We didn't see a future at all In Syria and Lebanon.
"In Lebanon it was worse because we weren't treated nicely. We experienced racism because there were a lot of refugees, people weren't nice. "
A year later, Esther made the long journey to Hull with her mother, father and Two Sisters . She Said adjusting to UK Life was a daunting experience.
"Hull is a beautiful place. I'm very happy here but of course it was a little bit challenging.
"Making Friends was hard at the beginning because you can't communicate with The Students . "
The UK government announced in 2015 that it would take up to 20,000 refugees, like Esther and her family, fleeing the Syrian war, by the end of 2020She Said "some people didn't accept you" at first and that she was bullied at Secondary School , making resettlement tough.
"One of The Students called me a terrorist so I was very sad and wasn't happy. "
The Student has aspirations of being a fashion designer and is starting her final year of a two-year course at Hull College .
"Now I'm enjoying Life .
"I always make an effort to fit in. "
