Our reputation

Ashram's work has attracted praise from high-ranking members of Government, including Prime Ministers.

Our groundbreaking work in community cohesion - spanning all aspects of what we do, from resident engagement to research - means we are nationally recognised as a pioneering intercultural organisation.

We won the Gold Award for Community Cohesion for 2008.
 

"Thank you for your letter... making me aware of the excellent work your organisation is doing in providing housing services, promoting community cohesion and working on the Prevent agenda."

"What's happening at Ashram is innovative, entrepreneurial, and a leading example of the kind of imaginative organisation that the Centre for Social Justice sees as the future for civil society in Britain."
Dr. Jeff Bailey, former Chairman-in-Residence at the Centre for Social Justice.

"The range of your work is vast, but the focus of it - improving the communities and life chances of those who live in those communities - is clear. So too is the dedication of all the staff I met when I visited."
