Welcoming and Including New Communities (WIN) aims to enable asylum seekers, refugees, and vulnerable Third Country Nationals (TCNs) in County Mayo to access high-quality information, advocacy, activities, supports and services appropriate to their legal status. 

A second aim is to build the capacity of front-line services to respond to the needs of the target group in a culturally competent way. 

WIN Mayo started in December 2019 and will run until June 2023. This project is co-financed by the European Commission under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and supported by the Government of Ireland. It is co-funded locally by Mayo County Council, Tusla, Health Service Executive (West) and St Stephen’s Green Trust.
