The IMB Community Foundation supported the research and development of SCARF’s CONNECT program in 2007. This funding allowed SCARF to successfully scope and design a suitable employment assistance program for refugees settling in the Illawarra. The IMB Community Foundation also provided vital education resources towards SCARF’s Homework Help program.
In 2008, the IMB Community Foundation continued their ongoing support of our bi-annual community consultation days, and a new partnership project with the IECC Working directly with the local Refugee community, the CONNECT Community Enterprise Initiatives program will support two exciting enterprise arms (food and arts & crafts) toward long-term social and economic community goals.

SESIAHS supported SCARF in the provision of sexual health workshops for refugee youth in the Illawarra during 2007 and 2008. Workshops resulted in the production of a young women's and men's postcard resource, and a peer education poster in 2008. For copies of the resources, please email
In 2008, SESIAHS supported SCARF to conduct a men’s activity: A Day at the Green. The day will include nutrition workshops, community cooking and sports activities. We anticipate this event will be very well attended by members from the predominantly African and Burmese refugee communities. More info here.
