Strengthening the Voice of Refugee Community Organisations within London’s Second-tier Voluntary Sector: Barriers and Opportunities
Neil Amas and Jonathan Price, Information Centre about Asylum and Refugees, City University, London
This report was commissioned by London Refugee Voice.
This report was commissioned by London Refugee Voice (LRV), a pan-London consortium of over 170 RCOs, to examine the barriers which obstruct and the opportunities which enable the representation and presence of refugees and asylum seekers in London. The research aims to identify and develop mechanisms that encourage cooperation between LRV and key voluntary sector second-tier organisations and networks in order to identify issues at borough level and raise these in the London-wide strategic arena, and in so doing promoting a united voice for refugees and asylum seekers. Through its participation, and the participation of RCOs, in strategic forums and networks, LRV hopes to open the eyes of policy makers to the experiences and perspectives of refugees and asylum seekers.
