Mission statement:	Mission Statement of the Rainbow Group: We dream of a city where there is place for everyone. In which wealthy people and people, living in (social) poverty live and work together and are involved in each other's lives and reinforce each other. Where people make a voluntary contribution to support others in society. Where the city is everyone's home. Where no one needs to feel lost. Mission Statement Correlation Network: The Correlation Network works and contributes to an increased quality of life for vulnerable and marginalized groups in Europe. We are committed to marginalised groups, such as drug users, sex workers, migrants, MSM and young people in risk situations as well as people living with HIV, Aids, Hepatitis B and C and other communicable deseases. We aim to improve the access to and the quality of medical and social services and work for a social Europe, in which marginal and vulnerable groups have a permanent place with the same (human) rights then everyone else. We work with everyone involved in providing care to marginalized groups: professionals, researchers, policymakers, politicians, advocates and others. Most of all we work and cooperate closely with the various involved communities. We advocate for a meaningful involvement of vulnerable and marginalised groups in the the design and the implementation of services, as well as in the decision-making process. We exchange experience and cooperate with respect for each other and with the idea in mind that we can all learn from the experience of the other.
