Refugee Week Summer Festival Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/refugee-week-summer-festival-2026-tickets-1986894115786?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true Afghanistan and Central Asian Association (ACAA) was founded in 2001 by Dr Nooralhaq Nasimi, a refugee who arrived in the UK with his young children in a refrigerated container in 1999. Dr Nasimi is the current Director, providing continuity for the charity in retaining its values and mission, and establishing a sound reputation amongst the minority and broader communities. Its recent expansion to Hounslow was prompted by the fact that Hounslow has the highest population of Afghans in London, yet there is no organisation dedicated to serve as a grassroots and frontline charity in Hounslow and the surrounding areas. ACAA is a voluntary organisation that works to empower refugees and asylum seekers, particularly from Afghanistan and Central Asia, from the point of their arrival and throughout their transition to UK settlement. Refugees experience multiple disadvantages ranging from language barriers to being victims of domestic violence and suffering from poor mental health. We understand that disadvantages acting together can make it more difficult for people to integrate and prosper and as such we provide holistic services that cater to the complex and often intersecting needs of our beneficiaries. Over 50% of staff and trustees and 80% of volunteers come from a refugee or migrant background, and many have previously been beneficiaries of ACAA.

At Afghanistan and Central Asian Association, we are pleased to be collaborating with the Refugee Legal Support (RLS) to provide a legal advice clinic for asylum seekers to access expert guidance, supporting their understanding of the asylum process as well as navigate the legal protections available to them in the UK, to ensure outcomes like family reunion and legal safety.

On Wednesday, the 14th of October, RLS’s session will support our community with substantive asylum interviews, sourcing legal representation, educating the fundamentals of the appeals process, as well as addressing case-specific queries related to the asylum system.

Everyone is welcome! To learn more, please DM us, email us at [email protected], or call 020 8572 0300.
