Because of the issue we faced as refugees we sat together with our African community members and other African ethnic minority groups and came up with strategies to fight discrimination, racism, drug and alcohol misuse and culture misunderstanding by creating a platform for integration in order to break down barriers between the wide community and the ethnic minority populations in the North Lanarkshire. Most of our service users are Africans, Syrians, Ukrainians, as well as residents around North Lanarkshire. Our activities involves young people, men, women and families together.
