Last night, Herts Welcomes Refugees received much-needed pledges of £4,700 to support and develop our Language Support and Befriender Network. This was part of The Funding Network’s crowdfunding event, which let our charity pitch alongside two other worthy charities: Herts Inclusive Theatre and Dacorum Community Trust. 

An amazing £14,000 was raised in total for the three charities. 

Our chair, Irene Austin, and our Dacorum Convenor, Kate Scott, gave a presentation about our organisation and its growing volunteer network. While Iman, a Syrian refugee,  spoke movingly about the volunteer who’d helped her to improve her English. 

​We were so pleased with the outpouring of support, which exceeded our expectations. With gift aid the amount may reach £5,000 - a fantastic result!
