Action is the antidote to despair
RAMA – Refugee, Asylum & Migrant Action (Refugee Action – Colchester) CIC is registered in England & Wales, company number: 10920710
Who We Are
RAMA is a voluntary organisation offering non-judgemental, practical support to refugees, asylum seekers and individuals facing severe vulnerability. We help people navigate the challenges of arriving in a new town and tackle the inequalities they face when accessing essential services.
We work to reduce destitution and homelessness, filling gaps in statutory provision and advocating for those who are often overlooked. Through strong partnerships with local agencies and community organisations, we create lasting, meaningful change.
As an IAA registered organisation, we can now provide regulated advice for Home Office applications, including those related to Domestic Abuse and cases where individuals have no recourse to public funds.
Our immigration advice service
RAMA is a not-for-profit organisation with limited funding. We support people who cannot afford paid immigration advice. As demand for our service is very high, we currently have a waiting list. To make sure help reaches those who need it most urgently, we prioritise clients who are facing destitution or serious financial hardship. Thank you for your understanding.
