Action for Refugees in Lewisham

It is our mission to help refugees help themselves by:

• Empowering them to acquire skills and knowledge.
• Finding out about and accessing services.
• Providing volunteer experience to build their skills.

We are a small locally run charity based in Lewisham, one of the most deprived local authority areas in England, with a very high refugee and asylum seeker population.

We work to relieve poverty and isolation amongst this vulnerable group, advance their education, and provide services to improve social integration.
