Service Description: | Upbeat Communities has been supporting those seeking sanctuary since 2005.
The organisation was founded in response to the needs of refugees arriving in the UK and the stories they shared of their lives and their journeys. Through building relationships with those from refugee communities we were able to identify their needs and the best ways to respond.
We believe that making those who are fleeing war, persecution, and conflict feel welcome will give the best possible chance of integration, support and opportunities to rebuild their lives. One of the best resources a refugee can have to help them settle in their new home is a good social network. Friendships and connectedness can help overcome the many challenges faced by those seeking refuge.
With this aim, we want to help connect refugees into community. We want to see strangers become neighbours.
Our name reflects our vision to see thriving, positive communities where everyone can contribute and make the most of opportunities.
We began by giving practical help and support to refugees and asylum seekers, which rapidly grew into projects that built cohesion among the whole community. One of the first major projects was to set up a community café in a multicultural part of the city, providing employment and volunteer opportunities for refugees, with a space for community activities, arts, and family events. From this initial work we developed a range of services, delivered with a number of different partners including Derby City Council, Derby Refugee Advice Centre, The British Red Cross, The Multi-Faith Centre, and Refugee Action . For more information about our current activities see Our Work.
We strive to hear the voice of the people we work with, to better understand the challenges they are facing, and to learn from them how best to address these issues. |
