We are NOMAD! We are a charity who were officially registered in 2016, but we have been working together for many years before that.

NOMAD operates from the Arc House Cafe, where we provide support and opportunities for young leaders, especially those from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Our focus lies in cultivating a vibrant network of young leaders, hailing from various countries, enabling them to drive positive change within their lives and the wider community.

Our efforts are geared towards fostering true integration and providing the necessary training and support for young leaders to independently guide their peers. Since our launch in Feb 2020 we have worked with over 2,200 young people at the Arc house.

Pillars of NOMAD's Ethos:

• Journey to justice: Through justice advocacy we equip young people with skills and create a platform to amplify the voices of young people, highlighting the injustices they face, and providing them with the necessary tools to navigate existing systems by understanding and taking back the power
• Leadership : Supporting young leaders to initiate local initiatives and establish connections with groups nationwide, offering a spectrum of training opportunities tailored to meet the diverse needs of young people from migrant backgrounds, including those with refugee experiences.
• Inclusive Community: Fostering an inclusive space for young people, regardless of cultural, religious, sexual, gender, or immigration differences. This space encourages relaxation, self-discovery, and exploration through diverse experiences, promoting a sense of belonging and acceptance.
