Our Story
How lived experience of migration and the UK asylum process became a movement for belonging in Norwich and Norfolk.
Founded by people who have been there
Connect-Us Hub CIC, based in Norwich, Norfolk, is a community-focused organisation supporting the social integration, wellbeing, and empowerment of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants.
We were founded by people with lived experience of migration and the UK asylum process. That lived experience is at the heart of everything we do — because we understand the emotional, social, and practical challenges of starting anew in a new country.
We believe migration is not a burden, but a bridge of connection. By fostering inclusion and understanding, we help build a stronger, more compassionate community where everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can thrive.
