Communities and Sanctuary-seekers Together (CAST)

Fairness and Equality

We all want to feel included and represented, and Communities and Sanctuary-seekers Together (CAST), based in Southend-on-Sea, are making it their mission to extend this to those who need it most.

CAST are the glue between asylum-seekers and local communities, helping to integrate refugees that are struggling and smoothing the transition into the next stage of life. They also provide friendship projects that build relationships, signposting through the benefits process and other services.

Our support enabled them to run a return to work and life skills programme to prepare participants for move on and independent living in the community.
