God's House Advice & Support Center is a collaboration between Nacka Parish (the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Sweden), the Muslims Association in Nacka, and the Catholic Diocese of Stockholm. Most activities take place in Fisksätra Church.

The purpose of the activities is to give participants better conditions for integration and inclusion in Swedish society and thereby counteract social exclusion and segregation in Fisksätra.

The aim of the Advice & Support Center is to implement religion as a resource in its social work. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of who you are or where you come from. We view the work in the Advice & Support Center as a natural consequence of our religious beliefs - to live in love and care for our fellow human beings.

Activities

The God's House Advice & Support Center offers counseling, language training, help with contacts with authorities, and opportunities to participate in a multitude of group activities.

På egna ben (Stand on your own feet)

New Swedish inhabitants often find it difficult to enter the housing and labour markets. Contacts and networks are lacking to make the integration efficient at the same time as society misses out on incredibly important competence and labour.

That is why we have created the project "På egna ben" (Stand on your own feet) as a link and a network between applicants and recipients.

We help with contacts and matches and make sure that parties agree and fulfill collaborations and commitments.

Contact João Alho for more information or to get help. See contact list further down on this page.
