Welcome to the Hackney Migrant Centre

Hackney Migrant Centre is a charity that runs a weekly drop-in for asylum seekers, refugees and migrants. During the drop-in we offer free advice on immigration and housing and benefit problems. We also have a health advocate that can help with access to NHS services and GP registration.

The drop-in is held every Wednesday 12.30-3.30 pm. No appointment is necessary.

HMC welcomes asylum seekers, refugees and migrants from any nationality or immigration status. Interpreters can be booked in advance.

Visitors are also welcome to enjoy our free cooked meal every Wednesday.
