Many people in the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) community are disadvantaged by systems which have a significant effect on their lives. These are people who are disempowered to such an extent that they are unlikely to be able to fulfil their basic human needs, or demand their basic human rights.

- Speaking on behalf of people who are unable to do so for themselves.
We currently have four Outreach Centres:
