CRRN works with people and organisations to build awareness and capacity in Cornwall to support refugees and asylum seekers.
Meet the Team
We are a small but dedicated team committed to connecting passionate volunteers and grassroots organisations across Cornwall and beyond, mobilising support for asylum seekers and refugees and building capacity. We advocate for fair asylum procedures, access to legal aid, and raise awareness of the valuable contributions refugees make to society and culture, fostering more welcoming communities across the UK.
