Facework Futures is designed for sanctuary seekers, refugees, and migrants—especially from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa—who live in the London Borough of Lewisham and have the right to work in the UK.
We offer weekly career development workshops, 1-to-1 support, employability training, English language help, and opportunities to meet others in a supportive environment. The programme is free to join.
No. We welcome participants with all levels of English. Our sessions are designed to be inclusive, and we offer support with English language skills along the way.
No previous UK work experience or qualifications are required. We welcome people at all stages of their employment journey.

The programme is primarily for people living in the London Borough of Lewisham, but if you live nearby, feel free to get in touch and we can see if there’s space.
