About us

We work together with local people to provide a safe, positive experience of community to reduce isolation, build inclusion and confidence, and challenge injustice.

 

About Us

Our community at West London Welcome

Our short films introduce our community, our centre, and how we work together with and support local refugees, migrants and asylum-seeking people:

We were set up by local people and first opened our doors in 2018.

At our specialist community centre for local refugees, migrants, people seeking asylum and other locals, we enable people to make new friends, share ideas, teach and learn English, be creative and social together, eat good hot food, get advice, understand and advocate for each other’s rights, and support one another.

Our vision is for all those from refugee and migrant communities to feel welcome and supported by local communities, live in dignity, and be free from injustice.

Long-term, our strategic aims are to build community; provide advice; advocate for our community members; and remain a sustainable community into the future.

Our values are: community, welcome and inclusion; collaboration with the local neighbourhood; building trust and sanctuary; migrant justice; anti-racism; and gender equality.

We are regulated by the Fundraising Regulator, and are accredited to give immigration advice by the Immigration Advice Authority.

We are a registered charity – our charity number is 1183261.

West London Welcome offers:

A welcoming, multi-purpose community centre where we provide English classes, hot food, a foodbank, advice, advocacy, clothing, childcare for those in classes, and social and creative activities.
