ELMBRIDGE CAN 

We provide grants and services that foster social inclusion and well-being for refugees and asylum seekers in Elmbridge. We support unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in Surrey to take part in projects that build confidence and combat social isolation. We help people be aware of and sensitive to the needs of refugees.
