What a fantastic day spent celebrating 40 years of the #NewtownFestival.
We loved being part of this amazing event and meeting members of the community at our Asylum Seekers Centre stall. Thanks to everyone who came for a chat, signed up to volunteer or enquired about ways to support people seeking asylum. We’re lucky to be part of such a caring and dynamic community. Congratulations on another great festival Newtown Neighbourhood Centre. ... See MoreSee Less

“This policy is purely designed to cause great harm. People seeking asylum are incredibly resilient but these cuts take away the most basic safety net while they’re looking for work. Currently no agency, individually or collectively, has the capacity to deal with the sheer number of people who will turn to the community for basic necessities” – Frances Rush, CEO, Asylum Seekers Centre
