The ethnic minorities Hub has helped me a lot especially build my communication skills, team work and leadership skills. Also Catherine helped through some difficulties I faced with the CAO.

It's always been your way to put all efforts into whatever you believe in and you've just proved the point, once again as the "GOAL-GETTER". It's been so wonderful to be part of this meaningful gathering, fair play to you Katie. You're indeed a worthy Convener.

And they all welcomed me. Sister kathy talk to Zac about me and since than Zac has been of a very good help for both me and my husband! May the Almighty God grant zac all the desire of his heart.

I found Ethnic Minorities Hub to a be a great source of information for myriad of issues confronting immigrants in Ireland. Its meetings are insightful with guest speakers offering practical solutions to housing, medical , educational, business issues among others. Kudos to its convener, Catherine Joseph, Longford Resource Centres and all volunteers for creating such a needful forum.

For me, joining the Ethnic Minority Hub is a real blessing. Almost few months ago I was very much fortunate to meet a great woman called Catherine. She told me and my colleague about this organisation. And I was so touched listening to her and how passionate she is in helping minority people in society. The group have help me a lot in accessing the council housing form and other very important information relating to solicitor advice on my asylum claim, business etc. And they are very much willing to help people in direct provision center here in Longford and other minority groups.
