How we do it

• We are a unique organization dedicated to working with - not for - refugee and asylum seekers. We have dedicated volunteers, from all over the world, willing to help anyone, at anytime, from anywhere - to help themselves.
  
  
• We continue to find and refine our processes to help our members to feel and show trust for each other, scrupulously ensuring that we exercise our confidentiality, listen and respect each other in order to work together.
  
  
• We work as hard as is necessary to maintain and develop the honesty, openness, transparency, and integrity of our organisation where racism, sexism or other discrimination of any kind is always challenged as constructively as possible.

Our Ethics and Values

• We know that ...It is dangerous to be right when those in power are wrong (Voltaire "Catalogue pour la plupart des écrivains français qui ont paru dans Le Siècle de Louis XIV, pour servir à l'histoire littéraire de ce temps" Le Siècle de Louis XIV (1752))
  
• As a minimum we must do no harm
  
• Self activity, self-empowerment and self management is key
  
• In relation to basic human rights, it is never impossible or too dangerous to tackle the problems that present to us: we are never afraid to try.
  
• We will not disclose information to any third party without the expressed permission of the person whose information it is
