We are committed to dignity, inclusion and empowerment of refugees and migrant diaspora.
We are an expert-by-experience, diaspora-led organisation based in Sussex. We are committed to strengthening the psychosocial wellbeing, and developing leadership for forcibly displaced refugees and migrants. We specifically focus on culturally appropriate, holistic health and wellbeing.
What We Do
We achieve this transformative empowering change through the following pillars:
01
Holistic Psychosocial Wellbeing
Promote the holistic psychosocial wellbeing of forcibly displaced individuals by providing accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive psychological support that fosters healing, resilience, and meaningful integration into society.
02
Community Engagement
Promote the social inclusion, leadership, and psychosocial wellbeing of forcibly displaced individuals by building a hospitable, inclusive, and resilient host community where they can rebuild their lives with dignity, engage meaningfully in civic life, and contribute to broader social transformation and international peace.
03
Research, Consultancy & Advocacy
Improving the lives of refugees and forcibly displaced people by generating evidence-based insights, amplifying lived experiences, and shaping inclusive, equitable, and trauma-informed services, policies, and narratives. Through participatory research, strategic consultancy, and advocacy, we aim to influence systemic transformation and advance the rights, dignity, and psychosocial wellbeing of refugee communities.
04
Service Provider Training

Who We Support
We are experts-by-experience. We specialise in supporting 2 key groups.
Refugees and the Migrant diaspora
We specialise in culturally responsive support for refugees and migrants focusing on the global majority: people forced to leave their homes due to armed conflict and gender-based violence. This includes women survivors, neurodivergent individuals, and young people rebuilding their lives in the UK.
Descendants of migrants
We support descendants of migrants whose identity and sense of belonging have been shaped by their families' forced displacement, helping them navigate the intersection of their racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds within their host communities.
