We are a group of ordinary people who
live on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia.
We welcome refugees and support and advocate
for asylum seekers.
The Mid North Coast Refugee Support
Group was founded in 2011 by Krissa Wilkinson, Phoebe Crane and former Burmese
refugee Tin Hta Nu, and is based in Port Macquarie.
We are a diverse non-partisan group of ordinary Australians concerned by the persistence of racial prejudice in our society and the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers by the Australian government.
The MNC Refugee Support Group aims to:
•
Educate the local community and dispel existing myths about asylum
seekers
•
Provide a voice for a welcoming attitude to refugees
•
Advocate for humane conditions and treatment of people from refugee
background
•
Assist people from refugee background
•
Support projects which assist refugees
•
Long term: - settle families
- make the Hastings a
refugee welcome zone.
