Rhythm and Soul for Refugees

Rhythm and Soul for Refugees Rhythm and Soul for Refugees is an event to bring together the community for an afternoon of dancing

Rhythm and Soul for Refugees is an event to bring together the community for an afternoon of dancing and fun in support of asylum seekers. This is an all ages, volunteer run event and all proceeds will go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre. The ASRC relies largely on public donations and volunteer support in order to make a difference for thousands of our community's most vulnerable members. Just by joining with us and enjoying music from some of Melbourne’s most talented funk and soul bands, you will be helping the ASRC provide health care, legal assistance, nutritious food, material aid, employment and training, counselling, case support workers, English tutoring, and a friendly, safe and respectful place for people seeking asylum in Australia.
