Notre Dame Refugee Centre
To provide a warm welcome and support for refugees and asylum seekers.
ABOUT US: 

For more than 25 years, Notre Dame Refugee has been supporting refugees and asylum seekers.  Based in the heart of London, Leicester Square, we offer expert immigration advice (by OISC registered immigration advisers), general support and advice given by volunteers, a twice-weekly drop-in and English classes.  At our drop-in we provide refreshments and a cooked lunch, and we also have a small foodbank and clothing bank facility.  

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

We offer a warm welcome to people who are seeking sanctuary in the UK, and support them in many different ways.  Our work helps migrants from all over the world to integrate into their new life in England.

As well as receiving expert advice, our visitors have the opportunity to learn new skills, especially English language skills, to meet and socialise with others and participate in a range of activities here at the Centre.

Compassion Kindness Inclusion
OUR AWARDS:

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT:
