Update: Success!
“It’s incredibly rewarding to work with people, harvest skills and come together to create change. Greenwich Welcomes brought an amazing addition of talent and creativity.
A thought provoking and emotional piece that portrayed a complex problem in a way local communities could comprehend and act on.”

Greenwich Citizens Election Assembly 2018: A Montage
(Maru Hernández)
(Maru Hernández)
We are pleased to announce that Both David Gardner (Labour, Cabinet Member, Health and Social Care, Greenwich) and Matt Hartley (Conservative, Councillor for Coldharbour & New Eltham ward) pledged their support for the action plan of settling 5 more families by the end of this year, as well as 6 more in 2019, and 6 more in 2020, in order to fulfill Greenwich Council’s promise of housing 20 Syrian refugee families locally by 2020.
It was an honour to participate in the Assembly. Our team is inspired to move forward with this work, fighting for the rights of those already settled here, as well as the families to come. There’s more work to be done, however this is a victory worth celebrating.
Below, we have provided our documentation of this project’s presence and our team members’ participatory roles at the event, which took place on April 24, 2018. Thank you again to Greenwich Citizens UK & all of the dedicated members of the alliance who made this possible.
