The purposes of the Charity are: 1. Through our work we will empower, support, and involve people principally but not exclusively from the asylum seeker/ refugee community. Liaising and collaborating with a range of organisations and groups to work towards the best outcomes for our participants through a wide range of community support and development programs, which will be flexible, with the ability to change depending on need. 2. We will ensure that our work is driven by the participants with whom we work, in order to research, plan, and implement the services they need and desire. 3. We will provide a safe space for those who are marginalised by society; principally but not exclusively from the asylum seeker/ refugee community. A safe space of welcome, patience, compassion, understanding, and a willingness to learn from and develop each other mutually. A space which honours and celebrates diversity of culture and heritage. 4. We will recognise the many skills and talents that our participants hold, and encourage the practice and development of these skills. This is in order not only to help participants integrate into society, but to thrive. 5. We will work to advance the education of the public in general about the issues facing those who are on the edges of society, whilst supporting participants to work together to advocate and campaign on social justice and human rights issues that directly affect them and their communities.
