We’re delighted that our hard-working volunteers have been nominated for a Pride of Waltham Forest Award.

The Awards shine a light on those people who go above and beyond to help others, and who make Waltham Forest a great place to live.

Winners will be announced on Friday 3 November.

Our volunteers keep the weekly Support Centre running, providing crucial frontline support and advice to our migrant and refugee visitors.

Ordinary people taking time out of their weeks to support those facing the injustices and stresses of the immigration and other systems is an example of people power, community strength and solidarity in action.
