Ijaz Ashraf

Caseworker
I have worked as a Case Worker since September 1999 when the organisation was known as West Edinburgh Multicultural Developement Project. Since then my role has been to provide one to one advice/information/advocay and support to minority ethnic communities experiencing a range of issues such as racism, discrimination, housing, education, benefits, immigration, employement and help with filling forms. My role also involves advocating common issues experienced by communities at forums such as West Edinburgh Group Against Racism (WEGARAH) to affect change. I feel my role is crucial to contributing to improving the quality of life of people who are often unaware of the systems or services available to them.
SCOREscotland Women’s Group
This group has just started at SCOREscotland. As the group unanimously agreed to start off by improving our level of overall fitness that is exactly what we are doing initially. Wester Hailes Health Agency is working in partnership with SCOREscotland by providing a female Aerobics Instructor to take us through our paces.
Aerobics run on Wednesdays from 7pm to 8pm at WHALE Arts Centre, and we have swimming lessons on Fridays from 3pm to 5pm at Forrester High School. We also have healthy eating and cooking classes in the Westerhailes area on a Tuesday morning from 10-12pm every fortnight.
Would you like to join this group?
Now is a very good time to come on board because we are working together to come up with ideas of developments would like to see, things the group would like to do and the general direction in which we would like to take the group. We are keen to ensure that the group is about much more than keeping fit. Your input and ideas could make the difference between the group being good or EXCELLENT! If you would like to find out more about this Women’s Group or you would like to join, please call SCOREscotland on 0131 442 2341 or email us.

Refugee Week
As we all probably know, REFUGEE WEEK was celebrated over the week beginning 14th June. Events organised to mark
refuge week are designed to raise awareness of the issues faced by refugees and the contribution to this country they make or could make. It is also another opportunity to bring communities together and celebrate the diversity of cultures that have made Scotland their home.
This year at SCOREscotland, Refugee Week was marked through a play staged by children and young people of our Knots and Crosses Youth Club – KCYC in partnership with Ankur Productions. This was a very good event and one of the highlights for me was the number of children and young people in the audience!
