Responding to feedback about community activities

At the start of 2022, we asked the valued members of the Asylum Seekers Centre community for their thoughts on our activities and programs. More than 230 people gave feedback in an online survey and focus groups. Here’s how we responded.

The little things were big for me. Every little thing I did gave me skills or opportunities – for jobs, friends, whatever. All of those programs (music classes, gardening, sewing) have helped a lot with getting confidence and getting jobs.
