Aims

We aim to enable people who have experienced torture and/or organised violence to heal from their traumatic experiences, find renewed meaning in life and integrate into the UK. We achieve this through the provision and maintenance of a supportive, therapeutic community, whereby we:

• Address traumatic experiences and symptoms via support groups, individual counselling and body therapies;
• Enable people to find renewed meaning and enjoyment in life through a range of social activities;
• Help people to navigate the stress and complexity of the asylum process;
• Support people in educating themselves and preparing for future employment;
• Create fora which allow members to interact with local communities;
• Raise awareness of the plight of this vulnerable community amongst the wider public and policy makers.
