Today our team came together to share a long‑table lunch, allowing us to take some time to pause and acknowledge Refugee Week. Taking this time together reminded us of the purpose behind our work and standing alongside people from refugee and humanitarian backgrounds.

The lunch was extra special as it was prepared by Chef Alex, who recently facilitated our Men’s Cook Like a Chef program. He carefully selected the menu which also included dishes reflecting his culture featuring mushroom pasta, cheesy chicken fajitas, Libyan soup (with both lamb and vegetarian options), Za'atar Greek and Mediterranean salad, and warm garlic bread.

Thank you to Chef Alex, and to our staff who helped bring everything together, for creating a table that felt welcoming and full of heart. Having him prepare the food for us is a beautiful extension of the connections built through the Men’s Cook Like a Chef program.

On Saturday 13th June, our team attended the Mirrabooka Refugee Week: Freedom Cup and Family Fun Day - a community celebration that brings people together in the spirit of connection and belonging.

The rain stayed away for a fantastic turnout and featured women’s and men’s soccer matches, cultural performances, family‑friendly activities, community information stalls for many service providers.

We had many visitors stop by our stall which was a great opportunity to chat with community members about our services and to connect with other organisations supporting people from refugee and humanitarian backgrounds.

The event was officially opened by Hon. Anne Aly MP and included Hon. Ayor Makur Chuot MLC for the closing remarks.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by and to the organisers for creating such a fun and energising day.

ASeTTS was proud to sponsor this event and support a day that celebrates connection, culture, and community.
