Organisation
Our services focus on facilitating culturally appropriate services that ensures ongoing support for new communities and promote mutual understanding, cultural awareness and build positive relations.Established in 2010, and now connect and cater for the needs of users from over 35 different countries, many of whom have high levels of poverty, deprivation and social exclusion. We use a holistic approach; and provide a welcoming space for people to meet and share as well as access support to help build their skills to become active citizens of the community they live in. Amongst a wide range of services and activities, Culture Connect currently runs after school programmes for migrant children and young people, classes in English as a second language for adults and children, support groups for women and for young people, intercultural mediation and interpreting services to promote better access to health services, education, employment; and intercultural awareness training and events to promote mutual understanding amongst communities.
