Spotlight on SDCAS in the Runnymede Trust Blog

We’re delighted to share that Nina, a former volunteer with Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS), has written a thoughtful piece for the Runnymede Trust blog. In her article, “Seeking Sanctuary and Finding Opportunity”, Nina reflects on her time with SDCAS and the strength, resilience, and humanity of the people she met through our services.

Nina’s words beautifully capture the spirit of our community, and we’re grateful to her for shining a light on the stories of those we support. We’d also like to extend our sincere thanks to the clients who kindly shared their experiences with Nina (quoted anonymously in the piece) — your voices matter, and they make a powerful impact.

Here’s a short extract from the blog:

“What I found at SDCAS was not just a day centre, but a space of refuge and solidarity. I met people who had faced the unimaginable, yet continued to move forward with hope. From the hot meals shared to the legal guidance offered, everything at SDCAS seemed to say: you are welcome here.”

We encourage you to read the full article on the Runnymede Trust website.

Thank you again, Nina — and thank you to everyone who continues to make SDCAS a place of safety, dignity, and possibility.
