**UPDATE**

Due to the national lockdown, our office is closed for most activities/appointments and staff are working from home. We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes. ICN will open again as soon as we are able to. For all enquiries, please call 01202 589395. Please take care: stay home and stay safe. Many thanks

If you had to flee your home with nothing, you would hope that someone would welcome you and support you in rebuilding your life somewhere else. That’s what ICN does.

 

Our Christian charity believes that we should “welcome the stranger” and works to help refugees and migrants from all faiths and backgrounds to rebuild their lives in the UK. From providing English lessons to assisting in immigration cases, ICN strives to replace difficulty with dignity.

How we help

ICN helps individuals and families who have left everything behind to find a safe place to live. ICN enables refugees and asylum seekers to integrate and settle in the UK by providing them with the skills, support and advice they need when they are confused and vulnerable.

Advice & Support

Filling in forms can be complicated if you aren’t an expert or don’t speak English fluently. ICN provides practical advice and support to refugees and asylum seekers within our community.

How can you support yourself and your family if you don’t speak the language? We break down barriers by offering newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers English lessons.
