We welcome refugees, people seeking asylum and migrants who have been displaced from their countries of origin. Leaving home because of war, persecution or incarceration takes real grit, determination and courage. For many, arriving in London is just the beginning of a long journey towards settled status and a decent quality of life.
Our mission is to offer people the emotional support, practical tools and sense of community they need to build a happy life in the UK
At the Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants, whether someone is seeking English lessons, advice on housing, accessing healthcare, applying to college, or any of the many challenges of being a migrant in London – we are here for them.
The Centre is led by and for refugees and people seeking asylum. Our holistic approach is focused on building community and confidence along with improving health, justice, and access for migrants in London.
