All Nations Ministries
All Nations Ministries is a registered charity that offers a range of activities and services for refugees and asylum seekers newly arrived in the city. Their work is aimed at promoting racial harmony and better social integration with the local community.
The influx of refugees and asylum seekers in Plymouth has had a significant impact on the city’s ability to provide the necessary services for social cohesion and integration. Recognising this challenge, All Nations Ministries made it a priority to address the needs arising from these demographic changes. This aim, the successful integration of refugees and asylum seekers as part of the multicultural community of Plymouth is at the heart of All Nations Ministries.
The organisation is committed to creating and developing an effective strategy whereby people from different ethnic and social groups have the opportunity to meet and learn from each other, ensuring that everyone may feel a part of the community.
The mechanism identified by All Nations Ministries is focused on bringing people together and facilitating the integration process. They understand that integration is a two-way process: while new groups desire to learn the culture and values of the local community, the local community is equally keen to learn about them. By encouraging these mutual exchanges, All Nations Ministries works to create a sense of belonging for everyone in Plymouth, regardless of their ethnic origin.
All Nations Ministries continues to focus on educating the local community about the new demographic landscape and on fostering good relations between the long-standing residents and the newcomers. Through its dedicated efforts, the organisation helps build a stronger, more integrated society where every individual can feel valued and part of the larger community in Plymouth.
“It is hoped that the multi-cultural activities break down barriers of race, religion and culture and form the foundation for all people to work together in unity to achieve positive things for themselves and their communities.”
