Refugee Café

Refugee Café is an innovative charity seeking to help refugees in Lewisham and surrounding areas into employment, particularly in the food and hospitality sector.  We started in May 2020 and, despite the challenges of the pandemic, we are well established and have expanding sales at local markets and online. We are about to launch our first training programme for refugee chefs. We are also planning to build a physical café in the heart of Lewisham as a significant new development. Fundraising has been successful and we enjoy considerable support from volunteers in the area. Following this success, we are now looking to recruit new trustees for the next stage of our exciting journey.
