Belong Aotearoa (Formerly known as Auckland Regional Migrant Services Charitable Trust – ARMS)

Belong Aotearoa is a social change organisation that works collaboratively with the community, public and private sectors to address the challenges that migrants and former refugees experience on their settlement journey. Belong Aotearoa innovates and lead initiatives that provide equitable access to employment and enterprise for people from migrant and refugee backgrounds; address social isolation experienced by women from refugee and migrant backgrounds; address gaps and barriers to collaboration within the ethnic community sector; and address barriers to civic participation and integration caused by wider societal attitudes and discrimination towards newcomer communities.
