Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London

Who we are

RAMFEL is the Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London, a not for profit organisation led by the needs of the individuals and communities we work with. We place them at the very heart of our work. We work for asylum seekers, migrants, refugees, Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities and anyone experiencing discrimination.

Ramfel's vision is to create a society free from discrimination and disadvantage, with a positive attitude to the inclusion of asylum seekers, migrants, refugees and BAMER (Black Asian Minority Ethnic & Refugee) individuals and communities.

Our culture and values

We are a not for profit organisation, running a busy client facing service. We provide immigration advice (OISC level 3) and generalist advice in a range of areas to support our clients. This goes alongside destitution services and support to build a new life in the UK, with ESOL classes and referrals for support accessing work.

​Our wide range of experience, drawing on the daily insights from those we work with, as well as the expertise of our staff and the work of our Experts by Experience group means that we are uniquely placed to provideaccess and insight to policy makers, politicians and those with a positive and genuine interest in migration issues.
