We are based at West Croydon Baptist Church, easily accessible by public transport. Our entrance is on Whitehorse Road, opposite the Hogarth Crescent ‘R’ bus stop.
Eligibility: You must be an asylum seeker or a refugee who has received leave to remain within the last two years, and currently living in Croydon.
All services are free of charge. We are here to help you start a new life, offering support with daily needs and integration into the local community.
