Standing proudly on top of the hill, Ely and its cathedral have always been a symbol of hope and safety in times of trouble. In fact, as a young woman our city’s founder, St Etheldreda, herself sought refuge in Ely from the threat of violence.
Now it is time to open our doors and show that we are ready and willing to offer sanctuary to those desperately in need of refuge. Focusing on Ely and East Cambs, Ely Refugee Resettlement Campaign (Ely RRC) is part of the Citizens UK national campaign to help resettle refugees across the UK.
We became a trust in October 2016 and are an HMRC registered charity. Our trustees are Poppy Pearce, Karin Muller Tahir and Dee McCormack.
