02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

1. Promote the interests of Minority Ethnic Groups and Refugees in West Lothian and support their settlement and integration into the local community. We do this through job-readiness training, language and skills support, and help accessing education, schools, and childcare. 2. Provide safe and welcoming spaces where community members can gather without fear of discrimination, harassment, or prejudice. We organise regular gatherings, classes, and events designed to include all age groups, particularly vulnerable individuals and families.
