Garfield Weston Foundation; https://garfieldweston.org/
RWCA is an essential community hub with high hopes to lead the Turkish and Kurdish community in North London to become more integrated, more vital and more secure than ever. We have overcome great adversity both as a migrant community and an organisation, and are confident in our ability to endure, adapt and thrive in a post-COVID socioeconomic environment. Garfield Weston Foundation has provided us with core funding to ensure that we can overcome the practical difficulties of this transition, keep working at capacity and make the absolute best of our unique position in the community we serve, RWCA has benefited hugely from the support of the Garfield Weston Foundation.
