Our Mission

The cultural stigma created by the question ‘What will the community say?’ has meant generations of South Asians are living in fear of speaking out about everyday issues. This has resulted in individuals suffering in silence and feeling they have nowhere and no one to turn to.

Changing Suits has been established to openly discuss the cultural problems faced by the community. We also work with local charities and organisations to understand the South Asian community’s needs and how to support them.
