The Charity is now becoming a forum for the refugees (especially the Syrian refugees) which facilitate various type of social gatherings for these refugees. The purpose of these gatherings is to enable meeting local people and other refugees, sharing experience, and enabling new comers to find ways to ease their difficulties and have a better integration experience in Scotland. To these events other activities have been added, such as distributing Christmas and Eid presents as well as other presents to the families and children, including children in need, and maintaining good contact, networking and online contact with our member. Sometimes we also provide small gatherings in the form of orientation workshops to facilitate better understanding of the integration process and to eliminate misunderstanding and confusion that is created by the interaction between various cultures.
