Supporting Community
The Somali Community Parents Association (SOCOPA) was established in 2005 with the goal of helping East African refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants in Untied Kingdom understand and access essential services, including health, education, immigration, and housing.
We serve as a focal point for the community, providing practical support and leadership to enhance the lives of individuals and families.
