Eri Centre CIC is a London-based community organisation dedicated to supporting refugees, asylum seekers, diaspora communities, and local residents. We were founded in response to the growing need for inclusive, culturally sensitive support services for individuals from East African and other global backgrounds navigating life in the UK.
Established by members of the diaspora with lived experience of displacement and integration, Eri Centre CIC offers a grassroots, people-centred approach to guidance, wellbeing, skills training, and community building.
We understand that settling in a new country comes with emotional, legal, and social challenges. That’s why we aim to create a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
Empowering people through practical support, meaningful connections, and inclusive opportunities.
Helping people gain the skills and confidence to access work and education.
Offering emotional support and healing through therapy, counselling, and peer mentoring.
Building friendships and reducing isolation through inclusive group sessions.
Guiding people through services, housing, legal aid, and local opportunities.
