Creating people powered change….

WHAT DRIVES US?

WHAT WE DO?

  • Empower and support, migrant communities so they feel safe and confident to navigate and access the complex mainstream services system and challenges, maximising opportunities and fulfil their potential.
  • Promote members rights and strengthen social cohesion.
  • Help other organisations/services/groups including mainstream service providers to enhance understanding of this disadvantaged community and their issues so to better meet the needs of migrants.

HOW WE DO THIS?

  • Help communities to make informed positive choices through the provision of information, guidance and support.
  • Provide advocacy support for migrants especially for the most vulnerable to ensure their rights are protected.
  • Facilitate access to mainstream provision including healthcare, employment, advice and information.
  • Produce information and interpretation to support members to communicate with decision-makers, the wider community.
  • To increase the number of migrants who access our specialist, transformative services.
  • Deliver cultural programmes that the community can part-take and celebrate traditions.
  • To provide adaptive and innovative responses to changing needs.
  • Provide a safe, inclusive and accessible community centre.

WHAT WE WANT TO BE KNOWN AS?
  • A credible and trusted authority on the needs and aspirations of TURKISH AND KURDISH MIGRANTS in the UK.
  • An independent, accountable, value-led and sustainable organisation.

Informed by overarching theories and the unique needs of the community, driven by goals of empowerment, and self-care, community engagement facilitates a process of recognising and acknowledging ways to reduce power differentials and increase the building of trust and relationships.
