Compass Refugee Centre has been a beacon of hope since 1987, providing refugees with not only safety but a place where they can be seen, heard, and supported. For many who have lost everything, Compass is where they find a warm meal, a listening ear, and a sense of belonging. It’s where they come to feel human again after navigating the complexities of starting fresh in a new country. At Blue Sea Foundation, we believe in the power of community to transform lives, and our partnership with Compass Refugee Centre is a perfect example of that vision in action.

We’re thrilled to see how Compass embraces the Ride for Refuge as more than just a fundraising event. It’s their opportunity to rally their community, celebrate their mission, and make a tangible impact in the lives of those they serve. With every step walked or kilometre biked, they’re not only raising funds—they’re raising awareness and building a network of support that stretches far beyond their own walls.

Want to see this passion in action? Watch the video to hear directly from the team at Compass about what the Ride for Refuge means to them and how it helps them transform lives every day. Their stories will inspire you to join in and make a difference!
