Our Mission
Changing Suits is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering South Asian and ethnic minority communities by weaving personal stories into the fabric of support and breaking down cultural and social barriers.
Changing Suits aims to heal, unite, and foster cultural understanding, ensuring that every story is heard and valued as a tool for personal and communal transformation. Simultaneously, we advocate for a transformation within the broader support sector, promoting a shift towards services that recognise and utilise the power of these deeper more meaningful stories.
Our mission underscores the commitment to fostering strength, amplifying voices, and creating a more inclusive and empathetic support system.
Through dynamic platforms like podcasts, social events, peer-to-peer support groups, and mentoring, we enable individuals to share and engage deeply with each other’s personal stories.
