Refugee Communities History Project
Work began during 2004 on a major new initiative - the Refugee Communities History Project for which City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London are leading funders - to document and demonstrate the cultural, social and economic contributions made by members of refugee communities to London society since 1951. It will record the experiences of individual refugees from the time they first arrived in the city to the present day.
