Speaker Zaid Moosa Action for Refugees in Lewisham AFRIL

About AFRIL

AFRIL opened to the public in July 2006.  We began by providing a free advice service for refugees and asylum seekers, as well as a supplementary School - The Rainbow Club - for children aged between 4 and 11. We now work with an average of 120 clients per week, and over 40 different nationalities.

In 2015 we continue to provide:

• ESOL classes for adults on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays provided by our partner Community Education Lewisham (CEL), with a creche for children aged 1 to 4 years old.
• A supplementary School for children - the Rainbow Club, aged 4-11 years old.
• Support destitute families with clothes, food and other essentials.
• SUNDAY TEA: At St Margaret's Church, Lee Terrace one Sunday per Month 2-4pm (please call for details).

Our challenge is to survive these difficult times and secure funding for our core costs in running the charity.  We continue to rely heavily on the support of volunteers who enable us to provide our services.

Please do volunteer - we need people to donate their time and skills to run our projects.  We are also recruiting for the management board and would like to hear from people with a fundraising background to assist with funding applications.
