Find help. Find your place. Grow together.
Information and support for refugees, migrants, and people affected by poverty
Integration begins where people find one another, yet all too often, barriers stand in the way. I-Need connects refugees and people affected by poverty with local services: language courses, healthcare, food banks, legal advice, and sports and cultural activities. Easy to access, free of charge, and available in nine languages. Because connection is how community begins.
