The Blackwood and Hills Circle of Friends is an apolitical community group that has actively supported refugees and asylum seekers since 2002. We are a diverse and relatively informal group of people who share a commitment to helping asylum seekers as they embark on what can be a long and difficult process to gain permanent residency in Australia. Circle members’ contributions vary depending on their skills, experience, time constraints and the projects that the Circle is involved with at any particular time.
