About the organisation
We have been empowering refugees, migrants and asylum seekers to rebuild their lives since 1992.
We believe that everyone should be able to live safely in a place where they can thrive and be part of the community. LRMN has helped thousands of people seeking sanctuary to do just that, rebuild their lives and to do so with dignity.
We have been providing free, independent and confidential advice to refugee, asylum seeker and migrant communities for over 25 years. Today, we work with thousands of people from all over London to help them access services needed to flourish in their local community.
