Established in the UK in 1998, Refugee Week takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June) and has since grown into a global movement with over 2 million participants, across over 20 countries. Through an exciting programme of events, activities and media campaigns, Refugee Week brings together people from different backgrounds to connect and foster a deeper understanding of why people are displaced, and the challenges they face.
Claire Pritchard, CEO of GCDA."‘We recognise the resilience, creativity, and contribution of refugees and people seeking asylum to our local communities and GCDA itself. We are committed to supporting people on their individual journeys as they seek to find a safe place for themselves and their families to thrive."
The Lewisham Refugee and Migrant Network was started in 1992 and today it advocates and supports some of the most vulnerable people in our society. It advises on critical immigration cases, helps prevent homelessness, meets basic needs and campaigns for change. You can drop into The Migrant Hub at Woolwich Common Community Centre (which is run by GCDA) every Tuesday from 10am - 4pm to receive much needed advice and food support.
