Company activities and impact

The company was established in January 2020 as an organisation providing community support services for members of Southeast and East Asian (commonly referred to East and Southeast Asian – ESEA) communities in the UK. During the fiscal year 2023-2024 (year ended in January 2024), the company benefited the communities in both direct support services to and advocating for the welfare and the rights of members of the communities in the areas of community well-being, migrant labour rights, identity-based discrimination and hate, and immigration and asylum. These include: -Providing ESEA community members culturally-informed and accessible information and direct support services on mental health (befriending/counselling and peer support groups), healthcare access (GP registration & other well-being information access), immigration, employment, identity-based hate and discrimination, and gender-based violence -Providing casework assistance for individual members of ESEA communities who have experienced or witnessed identity-based hate incidents and crimes, gender-based violence and exploitations, and employment rights issues -Creating space to conduct community-led research activities and producing creative work to document, express and archive experiences of ESEA community members, and publishing several research reports -Providing support to newer and smaller ESEA community groups and individual researchers, artists, practitioners with organisational/infrastructural support -Conducting advocacy and campaign work for improved representation and awareness of experiences of ESEA community members, particularly under-represented groups within, such as migrants and refugees, women and people of marginalised genders. These included public speaking and media engagements -Providing consultancy to policymakers, researchers, non-governmental organisations, corporations, as well as local and national authorities and public health service providers for improved public, statutory, charitable or private services accessible for ESEA communities, other Black Asian Minority Ethnic communities, migrants and refugees.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s main stakeholders are our service users - members of ESEA communities, particularly those who are migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum and those of these heritages living in the UK. All board directors and employed staff members are of ESEA heritages with lived experiences of migrating to the UK or growing up in migrant families. Other stakeholders include volunteers, donors and funders, partner organisations, research institutions, the media, policymakers as well as national and local authorities. The company’s activities include community-led research and consultation to document and analysis of the situations and needs of the community members, which directly feed into planning and evaluations of the company’s activities. Most of the implemented projects have monitoring and evaluation processes using feedback surveys or informal reflections, which are also used to make adjustments to our work to better address and meet the needs or the users. Staff and volunteers are also regularly consulted through meetings, training work-shops and feedback on activities and work they are involved. Based on these consultations, the company plans new services and activities, or reviews the existing ones, that are implemented as projects with funding provided by donors and funders. Funders and donors were informed of our activities and project implementation through re-ports and other forms of monitoring and evaluation. The company have consulted by local and national authorities and related service providers to report on the situations and needs of the communities for improvement of the public and statutory services for minority communities.
