Who do the Refugee & Migrant Project Support?

We support people who have migrated to the UK through a range of routes and for many different reasons. The immigration status of many people we support is unclear, undocumented or not yet resolved. We support people without judgement as to how they came to be here.

Our Food Bank

Every Tuesday our food bank is open at our base in Manor Park. We provide a parcel of dry food such as pasta, rice, tinned tomatoes and beans, tinned fish, tea and biscuits.
Who is eligible for the Refugee and Migrant services?

Due to lack of funding, it has become necessary for our Refugee and Migrant Project (RAMP) to focus on service users with the greatest need. We are only able to support individuals and families who are destitute.
