Hackney Refugee Forum (HRF) is the voice for over 50 local voluntary and community groups serving refugees and asylum seekers in Hackney. As a network of organisations, we aim to influence local service providers and advocate on behalf of the needs of our communities.
We believe that by providing opportunities for exchanging, sharing and learning from the experience of refugees we can raise awareness of issues, enable them to access their rights, develop their well-being and take part as fully as possible in all aspects of community life.
We are based at HCVS.
