WTRRP - St Mary’s Church, Church St, Watford WD18 0EG 01923 252 434
Our Work
WTRRP was established in 2001 with the purpose of providing immediate practical support to vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers and helping them to understand and navigate the complex UK legal system.
Our remit has grown over the years to include services which provide clients with solid foundations for their new lives in the UK should they receive leave to remain. We now support our clients and their families in a number of ways, including:
Befriending Befriending refugees and asylum seekers is still at the core of what we do. This involves one of our volunteers getting to know a family or an individual and providing ongoing support and friendship.
Providing advice and support at the drop-in centre We hold a drop-in centre at St Mary’s Church in Watford every second and fourth Tuesday each month – somewhere clients can come to ask us questions or just have a chat over a cup of tea. We are open every Tuesday 11am to 1pm for other activities too.
With kind grants from several benefactors as well as our partnership with the Watford Food Bank, we can provide weekly food vouchers and other goods to clients who need a helping hand.
Helping clients and their families move house and giving practical help When clients are required to move at short notice, we ensure that they’re safely transported to their new homes along with their furniture and belongings. We also help clients with other practical matters from time to time.
