Our Story
In 2020, the Solidarity & Support Organisation (SSO) was founded in response to a growing humanitarian need: supporting people forced to flee their homes due to conflict, oppression and crisis.
Driven by compassion and a commitment to dignity, SSO works with some of the most vulnerable individuals—migrants, refugees and asylum seekers—helping them rebuild their lives with confidence and hope. “We identify the challenges newcomers face, address gaps in support, and provide practical, emotional and community‑based assistance. From essential guidance to integration support, SSO empowers individuals not just to survive, but to thrive in their new communities.
Our Values
We believe every person has the right to safety, dignity and opportunity.
At SSO, the people we support are not just service users — they are members of our community with strength, resilience and potential. Our role is to support, guide and walk alongside them as they build brighter futures.
Together, we create a welcoming community where people can heal, grow and thrive.
Our mission
At the heart of our mission is a belief in people’s strength and resilience. We see those we support as partners in their journey—active contributors to rebuilding their future, not passive recipients of aid.
SSO stands as a pillar of solidarity, offering safety, guidance and opportunity to those seeking a new beginning”
