A FAIR AND INCLUSIVE
BOROUGH FOR ALL
Haringey Welcome is a local grassroots collective with a vision of Haringey as a Welcome Borough where refugees, migrants and all residents are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect.
Migration has always existed, and conflict, social upheaval, extreme poverty, and the climate crisis mean forced migration is a reality that affects members of our community, too.
We celebrate the diversity and inclusivity of our community

WHO WE ARE
NO TO HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
Haringey Welcome is a local grassroots group acting as part of a nationwide movement to replace national Hostile Environment policies with a fair and inclusive immigration system that embodies the values of justice, equality, dignity and antiracism.
We believe the Government’s hostile environment policies threaten the safety of migrant communities as well as creating hostility within the wider community. In response, we are working to make the London Borough of Haringey a welcoming and inclusive place we can all call home.
