Seacliff Uniting Church

5 Wheatland Street

Learn about the challenges faced by refugees in our country. Be informed and understand what you can do to support them

In these uncertain times there are, and will continue to be, increasing numbers of people who are refugees coming to Australia whether for political, economic, climate or other reasons. Listening to refugees and their advocates, and hearing their stories, is something we all need to do before we can understand how best to offer assistance to them.

Please come along to discuss key issues with a panel involved with refugee related issues and meet like-minded people in your local community.

A gold coin donation will be appreciated to help cover catering costs.
