Refugees Welcome in Richmond (RWinR) is a charitable incorporated organisation led by volunteers dedicated to supporting people seeking sanctuary in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and surrounding areas.
Our volunteers provide befriending and language support to help those fleeing crises, conflicts, or persecution around the world who arrive here to settle into the community and access services they need. We’re always looking for more supporters to join us.
RWinR works alongside Richmond Council’s Resettlement Team to supplement the support offered by caseworkers. We’re also finding homes for clients who urgently need rental accommodation. In collaboration with the Council, we’ve developed a package of commercial benefits for landlords.
RWinR is a local group of the City of Sanctuary movement. We represent Richmond upon Thames, which is now a Borough of Sanctuary.
