Refugee Community Organisations
Across the UK, many Refugee Community Organisation (RCOs) help refugees integrate and thrive. They offer vital services, activities, and advice.
We work with RCOs to ensure they have the tools and support needed to help people not just survive but build better lives. We offer advice on income generation, fundraising, governance, and best practices.
Our goal is to help RCOs champion the needs and aspirations of refugees.
Resources for RCOs
RCO Self-Assessment Tool
This tool helps RCOs evaluate their work. By filling out the questionnaire, you can see what your group does well and where more focus is needed.
RCO Training
We provide free organisational development training to RCOs. We also organise events across London involving refugees, RCO leaders, policy makers and funders. These are opportunities to share best practices, address common challenges, and better serve refugee communities.
Refugee Council Funding Toolkit
Our online toolkit helps RCOs and small charities find grants, receive funding updates, and access support resources.
London Refugee Advocacy Forum
Founded in 2018, this forum connects RCOs across London. It shares insights and gives refugees a voice with officials and decision-makers.
