- To provide a network, safe space and community for LGBTQI+ migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in Skåne

Despite all of us working on the Newcomers project voluntarily, we are in need of your help!
With the rise of populist and anti-immigrant political tendencies across Europe, the current political climate in Sweden has been gradually leading to the attitudes of ignorance, or even worse, the adversity towards the needs of refugees and asylum seekers.
We would like you to become our friend and a distant (or not so distant) member of our diverse community in Malmö. If you wish, you can support us with a donation via Swish number 1235355292 or by scanning the QR code from below.
THANK YOU all so much for any support!
