Mission Statement

Helping Refugees and Migrants in the UK Afghanistan and Central Asian Association (ACAA) has grown from a small organization in Lewisham to a fully-functioning charity in Feltham supporting thousands of refugees in the UK. Since our inception in Lewisham, the charity has expanded its geographical remit in Hounslow, Croydon, Ealing and Greenwich and Kent, providing educational, language, mental health, legal and advice services to reduce isolation, overcome language and cultural barriers and improve employment by offering tailored and culturally-sensitive help that suits our beneficiaries’ specific situations and needs. Over 24 years, we have expanded our impact of scope and ACAA now supports over 13,000 refugees every year.

Description

Helping Afghans and Central Asians prosper in the UK Our wide range of services includes English language classes, employment workshops, a women’s support group, a Saturday school and homework club, youth and family support services, drop-in and telephone advice, volunteer placements, and cultural and social events. We provide outreach and visits to individuals and families in detention. We also work in Afghanistan, where we are developing citizens advice centres in Kabul and Pul-e-Khumri, following a successful pilot project from 2013-2016. They will offer free, impartial and confidential advice, information, support and legal aid on issues including education, employment and domestic violence.
