We support refugee and asylum-seeking women to rebuild their lives on their own terms.

Join us!

Our creative and educational activities run during school term times and aim to create a sense of community where women can grow together, explore their creativity, and begin to heal.

Our network of over 650 refugee and asylum-seeking women participate in weekly online and in-person activities at our welcoming centre near Old Street, London. 

These activities are designed to build confidence, skills, and connections and include:

English, Knitting, Drama, Digital Skills, Yoga, Asylum Advice, Rainbow Sisters (our dedicated LGTBQ+ support group), Arts and Crafts, Dance and Movement, Campaigning, Advocacy, Referrals and much more!

There’s something for everyone!

We look forward to welcoming new members into our network.
