Art for Asylum Seekers
Paul Ruiz
Art for Asylum Seekers
Story
Every bit counts
I am grateful for all of the people who have supported my art over the years. I understand that whilst not everyone is in a position to purchase an original art work, we can make a difference by supporting the Art for Asylum Seekers goal with a donation, big or small. All proceeds go directly to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
How will the money be used by the ASRC?
The money you raise will go directly to providing critical services to asylum seekers who are some of the most vulnerable people in our community. ASRC provides services such as food, health care, legal advice, counseling, metcards, clothing and bedding to over 1,000 asylum seekers at anyone time.
In the past financial year, the ASRC helped over 1,000 asylum seekers. The ASRC...
- Provided 7,490 Metcards - reducing social isolation and allowing clients to pick up their weekly food at the ASRC.
- Supplied weekly groceries for 120 families every week - over 75% who have no income.
- Cooked hot lunches for 500 people every week through our Community Meals Program.
- Legally assisted over 450 asylum seekers from 56 countries - successfully representing 83% at the primary stage of the refugee process.
- Case managed over 1,000 asylum seekers - including 395 new cases.
- Provided over 100 hours of counseling services a week – of which 60% was delivered by volunteers.
- Secured over 200 employment and education opportunities through our Employment Service and Catering social enterprise.
- Grew its volunteer staff to over 600 active volunteers who provided 2,000 hours of assistance per week (the equivalent of 58 full-time staff).
- Successfully lobbied the State Government to introduce a travel concession card for asylum seekers.
