Our aims are to
• develop a culture of welcome across the city by working with various voluntary and statutory groups, including community groups, schools, health care organisations, the arts and faith communities.
• organize awareness raising activities around the experience of those seeking asylum
• invite groups, organisations and individuals to pledge support for our aims in developing a culture of welcome in the city
