Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Action (RAMA)

Fairness and Equality

RAMA offers non-judgmental support to individuals and families living in Colchester and Tendring who are refugees, asylum seekers or migrants who do not yet have access to public funds.

They provide immigration advice, casework, community support, and therapeutic activities to help their beneficiaries navigate the challenges of a new home, foreign language, job market, and cultural norms.

By partnering with the local council, RAMA support resettlement schemes, and a grant from us has developed their foodbank which provides culturally appropriate food, clothing, and essential items for those that need it. The foodbank also offers a welcoming space for beneficiaries to come forward, to feel safe and listened to, while receiving practical support, which encourages positive health and well-being.
