Privacy Notice

Who we are

Haringey Welcome is a campaign group of local volunteers. We work for fairness, dignity and respect for migrants and refugees in the London borough of Haringey. We want a welcoming and inclusive community that benefits everyone who lives and works here.
We believe the Government’s so-called ‘Hostile Environment’ policies, aimed at vulnerable migrants, threaten the safety of those individuals as well as creating hostility within the wider community. In response, we aim to nurture and reinforce the positive values of diversity, inclusivity and welcome in Haringey.

Haringey Welcome are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our supporters and we will never sell, rent or trade any of the personal information you provide. We may on occasion contact our supporters to update you on our work, or ask for support and assistance if we believe it is fitting and appropriate to do so. In this Privacy Policy we provide the detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure.
