About

Our Aims

Bora Shabaa supports refugees and those seeking asylum to fulfil their potential. We aim to address issues at the earliest stage possible by offering English classes, digital skills support, advice, support and guidance appointments, and more. We support our community to access services such as quality housing, financial assistance, employment, healthcare, schools for children, and local enrichment activities. We aim to:

PROTECT PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH

To preserve and protect the physical and mental health of those seeking asylum, as well as those granted refugee status and their dependants.

Mission Statement

Here at Bora Shabaa, our mission is to empower refugees and those seeking asylum to thrive within their new community. Our work is trauma-informed and compassion-focused, addressing the many barriers faced by our community such as poverty, isolation, trauma, and communication difficulties, which make it hard to access essential services or feel a sense of belonging. Bora Shabaa strives to bridge these gaps by ensuring that refugees and those seeking asylum are genuinely welcomed and supported in building their new lives.

• Compassion: Treating every person with respect, kindness, and compassion.
