Coventry Migrant Womens Houses Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1168441 Annual Report and Accounts
2020 – 2021
Trustees Report
The Coventry Migrant Womens House continues to run a 4 bedroom house in Coventry, and provide rooms and basic living essentials to destitute forced migrant women.
In 2020 – 2021 we adapted our work due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and offered extended licences to the residents to ensure no-one would be made homeless during the pandemic. We also suspended our usual face to face community activities, although the residents continued to be active within a range of local and national community groups that moved to meeting and working online.
