Community Service –  (Somali Refugee Action Group)

Somali Refugee Action Group (SORAG) is a not-for-profit making charity organisation which was founded in the 1990 as a result of the large influx of refugees arriving in the United Kingdom during the civil war in Somalia. The Project was set up primarily to help the refugees find homes, schools, health services etc. Over the past years SORAG has voluntarily provided support and practical help to thousands of East Africans newly arrived refugees who otherwise had nowhere else to turn for help.

Domiciliary Care -  (SORAG Carers and Special Needs Project)

In 1996 SORAG’s research in community lives, highlighted that a large proportion of the Somali community were elderly disabled and needed some kind of care in their homes. With this in mind, the Management Committee decided to provide homecare for the elderly and disabled members of the community, and so SORAG Carers and Special Needs Project was commissioned by Greenwich Social Services. Today SORAG Carers and Special Needs Project provides a homecare service to all communities, eg Asians, Africans, Arabs and the English speaking community providing a homecare services for 21 inner and outer London Boroughs.

Overseas Project - (SORAG Mental Health Project)

SORAG has recognized a clear link between the Somalis that have settled in this country and those who are residing in Somaliland. The needs of the people in Somali are automatically reflected on those who are in this country. Almost all members of the Somali Community residing in the UK have relations at home (Somaliland) who are still suffering from the trauma that they have experienced during the war. A lot of those who are still in Somalia are dependent on Somalis living in the United Kingdom. The Mental Health Project was set up to help the families in Somalia who are suffering from Mental Health. (More info)
