Our mission is to provide support and advice for local migrants and refugees in Waltham Forest. We also advocate and campaign for the rights of migrants and refugees in the UK.
Our weekly Support Centre offers our migrant visitors free advice on immigration, accommodation and welfare issues, as well as signposting to organisations that can help with other issues. We also provide a warm welcome, tea and biscuits, and opportunities to socialise and practise speaking English.
