Inspired
A refugee-led charity supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and, migrant communities through advice, advocacy, community-led support and partnership working.
We support refugee, asylum seeker and migrant women, young adults, older people and families through trusted relationships, practical support and community-led programs.
Our work helps reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and build confidence, while challenging discrimination and exclusion and helping people understand their rights and participate fully in their communities.
“Exclusion jeopardises a person’s dignity, security, and opportunities for a better life, so all Inspired projects aim to foster inclusion and create a sense of belonging. In doing so, we uplift not just the individual but our entire community,”
Mrs Mahboubeh Ghaffarizad, Trustee and Founder of Inspired.

We Wear Heritage
A BIG THANK YOU to Brent Council and the
National Lottery Heritage Fund for awarding Inspired with the We Wear Heritage fund!
This was a huge success and a great opportunity, not only for our volunteers to showcase their design and tailoring talents, but also for us to present an incredible side to Persian culture, through the medium of clothing.
Inspired is a registered charity that engages with individuals facing exclusion. We believe that community participation is a fundamental right that enhances the health and equity of everyone.
Our projects ensure that no one in our community faces exclusion based on gender, disability, age, language, ethnic or racial origin.
What we do
We deliver a variety of programmes and events to foster inclusion and create a sense of belonging for everyone.
Alongside this, we provide individual support to those facing exclusion-based hardship, including refugees, the elderly and those with disabilities.
For individuals
Inspired delivers all its services thanks to the dedication of our committed members and volunteers, who generously contribute their time, skills, and expertise.
No one at Inspired receives payment—our work is powered entirely by goodwill and a shared passion for making a difference.
