About Us

I am a Refugee

In order to promote the contributions that thousands upon thousands of refugees have made to the UK JCWI is developing a blue plaque campaign for refugees. This follows on from our ‘I am an Immigrant’ campaign, which challenged some of the toxic discourse around immigration in the run up to the May 2015 General Election. Please see our Just Giving page to contribute to the campaign.
