North Devon Sunrise Cic

North Devon Sunrise is a Community Interest Company (CIC) primarily focusing on the needs of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) and diverse communities, supporting some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Northern Devon (and surrounding areas) including: victims of domestic abuse, refugees and asylum seekers, as well as elderly BME communities and Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities. The work of North Devon Sunrise is principally focused on supporting individuals with a range of issues – such as family welfare, social support and abuse – which is facilitated through casework, advocacy and signposting. Another core area of the organisation’s work is reducing social isolation and promoting inclusion which is achieved by holding regular drop-in and information centres, and organising and hosting a range of diversity-themed events open to people of all communities. Additionally, regular English Language (ESOL) classes and training workshops are held to improve confidence and increase employment potential of the wide range of people we strive to support.
