International Group

Supporting people practically and emotionally through Britain’s Hostile Environment.

We are a group for people living through the Hostile Environment, looking for support, solidarity and community.

Many of us are LGBTQ+ and are from countries where it is unsafe or illegal to be ourselves, especially while connecting with our faith.

We are proud to explore our identities as a community and individually in an affirming place that recognises God’s love for us isn’t determined by who we love or how we identify.

We also have a dedicated member of staff, Max Fedyk, our Refugee & Asylum Support Worker. Max provides practical and emotional support throughout the journey through the system, as well as signposting to additional help.

If you are currently living through the Hostile Environment, are in the asylum system or are a refugee and want to get involved with the Asylum and Refugee Group, please do reach out.

Click on the button below to email Max, or come to a Sunday service at church and ask any of the clergy or vergers to put you in touch with us.

This project is funded through donations and the Westminster City ward budget.

 

Creating community

We organise regular outings to art galleries and communal meals, we foster a profound sense of belonging and community among our asylum and refugee group.

International Group Party

Over the past few years, members of our family have found their forever home and received Leave to Remain, and those who haven’t have displayed exemplary strength.
