About this cause
The Refugee Cafe is a new organisation aiming to advance the education and training of those granted refugee status, so as to advance them in life and assist them to adapt within a new community; and assisting in the relief of unemployment and financial hardship of those granted refugee status, by the provision of vocational skills training, advice, and support.
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will help participants into mainstream jobs and build the confidence to develop their own events and enterprises, enabling them and their families to become financially stable and build social networks. The project will change the landscape, experience, and opportunities for all Lewisham residents by encouraging living wage employers, local commerce, and equality of opportunity.
