Somali Caring and Education Association

Supporting the Somali community in Hammersmith & Fulham since 1995 — welfare advice, health and housing support, education, and community activities.

Our Mission

We're a small local charity that's been part of Hammersmith & Fulham since 1995. Whether it's help with a benefits claim, finding your way through the housing system, learning English, or just somewhere to belong, we're here for the Somali community and our neighbours across the borough — and everything we offer is free and confidential.
