Helping Hands for Refugees and Disabled (HHfRD) is a non-profit organisation run by skilled volunteers dedicated to helping socially-disadvantaged people and groups, as well as improving the quality of life and sustaining healthy communities.

We can provide help by:

Assisting with information on financial hardship with free self-help information for people who, through lack of means, would otherwise be unable to obtain this.

Assisting with the education and training of those granted refugee status and their dependants.

Our aim is to allow socially disadvantaged people to develop new skills and to adapt within their new communities, helping them to

integrate positively within British society.

We are based in London, Newham, but we can provide online assistance and self-help information, as well as home visits across London and to other areas.
