Cornwall Refugee Resource Network
Cornwall Refugee Resource Network (CRRN) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which works with organisations and individuals across Cornwall to campaign for change, improve services and ensure equity for refugees, asylum seekers and individuals from other migration backgrounds.
We were established at All Saints Highertown Church in Truro in 2016, initially known as the Cornwall Refugee Resettlement Network, to co-ordinate support, donations and befriending for Syrian families resettled in Cornwall via the national Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme.
In 2018, we renamed ourselves the Cornwall Refugee Resource Network to reflect that our support, information, advice and guidance is not solely restricted to individuals on resettlement schemes. We work with asylum seekers, refugees and increasingly migrant workers, from a diverse and wide range of migration backgrounds. We were constituted as a CIO in 2019.
