What We Care For!

The Aim of Asma Community Group in Brent

The cultural diversity of Brent inspires many to migrate towards the borough, such as individuals from lower income countries. This is aided by the low cost of living index combined with  low housing cost and increasing job opportunities for entry level workers, has made Brent an attractive economic beacon. Furthermore to add to this, Brent possess the freedom for cultures to diversify as people can experience different innovations that they may not have been previously exposed to.

Socially, many people seek a welcoming atmosphere to express their beliefs and culture, which ultimately increases the diversity within the communities they reside in. Even though relatively new to the area, many members of the ethnic minorities own businesses such as restaurants, shops and other services, introducing new styles and cuisines to the overall diverse London.

Local schools and universities have modified student activities and curriculums to embrace and make different presences known by the mainstream area. This includes creation of student groups and distinct literature into school media and publications. To aid this effort, we have worked with vulnerable groups to enrol in educational institutions to benefit from some of these efforts. The staff at Asma Community Group constantly guide them through the process of filing and processing the documentation required for enrolment.

The economic impact of ethnic minorities increase the derivative to enhance the different sectors of the world, ranging from providing exotic foods, flavours, fabric and other items unique to their culture and experience. Their close communal connections foster business-to-business support among their enterprises and help their businesses thrive. The Asma Community Group supports entrepreneurship for any groups through partnerships with community organizations that offer assistance to individuals and communities striving for financial and social independence. 

Case Management

At Asma Community Group, we handle all our cases with compliance as well as towards confidentiality regulations. We facilitate and coordinate communication between organizations handling housing, legal, education, and employment to settle thorny issues and increase understanding between a settlement.

The Asma Community Group helps families’ sign up for housing aid, which is a sector most individuals find hard to navigate. Our staff help co-ordinate the housing application process and act as a bridge to the housing support organizations by providing language services and technological assistance to applicants. Many beneficiaries owe their success applications due to our interventions.

Education

Forming and sending applications to educational institutions has been difficult to some of our clients, such as uninformed parents. Our main goal in the education sector is to bridge the gap and provide information and assistance to achieve this objective. We also provide after school programs as well as English as a second language training to older clients.

Language and cultural barriers hinder assimilation into the British work sector. To overcome that we provide job search techniques, resume writing, proper interview etiquette and basic computer skills, for our clients to improve their chances of securing a job.
