Our Ilford-based community hub serves as a place for asylum seekers, refugees and migrants to access support and community connections. Our hub includes a foodbank, English conversation classes and other wellbeing activities throughout the year. 

How we help

We run a weekly foodbank from 10am -12pm on Thursdays where eligible clients can collect emergency food to support them while navigating crisis.
Alongside the foodbank, we run drop-in advice sessions. This allows us to identify individuals in need, so we can address the root cause of their destitution so that they can move on from being reliant on our foodbank.
We also run weekly English conversation classes at the community hub and seasonal wellbeing classes to support people to find community and increase their weelbeing.

I would just like to say thank you very much on behalf of my family and myself for the excellent and outstanding support we have received from Refugee and Migrant Justice.The support they have provided has been a lifeline.
