Supporting Groups



Aim of the programme
Running a charity is very demanding work and takes a much commitment, skills and knowledge. The refugee development programme provides practical services to encourage and strengthen refugee groups, those working with refugees or with a refugee background in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley boroughs to provide quality services. Services include strengthening groups, providing voice and supporting refugee week events.

Ethos of programme
We believe people have a right to self-expression, to feel they belong and not feel alienated from society. We are committed to treating people with dignity and respect. Through supporting refugee groups we are committed to helping individuals achieve their full potential and equality of access to services and opportunities.
