About SHARe Knowsley
SHARe Knowsley is a local grass roots charity that serves a growing number of people seeking asylum and refugees living in Knowsley. Not only is the name SHARe an acronym for Supporting and Helping Asylum seekers and Refugees, but it also sums up our philosophy in wanting to share our lives with whoever we meet, wherever they come from, whatever their story, irrespective of language, colour, race, faith and gender, treating everyone we meet with dignity, love, care and respect. This applies as much to the team as it does to our service users. A small number of paid staff supported by committed volunteers make up our dedicated and hardworking team who love to ‘make a difference.’
