Our Work in Action
We sat with people who had crossed land and sea to reach sanctuary, offered calm amidst nightmares, shared stories, and made art. Together, we made healing from trauma a possibility. We also strengthened the organisations working with these individuals, offering vitally needed training and therapeutic supervision.
