Welcome

We support forcibly displaced people in and around the Surrey borough of Elmbridge.

Elmbridge CAN is a community-based, volunteer-powered charity located in Elmbridge, Surrey, UK. We help forcibly displaced people - such as refugees and asylum-seekers - in and around Elmbridge to rebuild their lives to become independent and contributing members of our community. We offer integration services in partnership with local organisations and through our network of committed volunteers.
