Refugees
and Migrants
A place of support for refugees and migrants
Our churches across Tower Hamlets believe that no one should be marginalised or mistreated because of their immigration status. Our prayer is that everyone can live safely, free from poverty, discrimination, and exclusion, and be treated with compassion and respect.
