Supporting Community Development

PADEAP provides support to community based organisations, agencies and individuals. The Community Development Project provides practical help, tailored training and advice to new and established refugee community organisations on organisational, funding and other capacity building issues.

 

We publish newsletters on issues affecting asylum seekers and refugees including funding news, job opportunities, events, training and volunteering opportunities as well as project news of our organisation.

 

We provide meeting room space and access to IT resources for Refugee Community Organisations.
