Women’s Centre Re-Opening
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

On the 7th January 2017 we had the awful news that the Womens Centre in the Grande Synthe Refugee Camp was gutted by a fire.Refugee Community Kitchen came down to the camp to see the devastation caused and had a meeting with Dunkirk / Dunkerque Refugee Women's Centre and straight away agreed that the Centre must be rebuilt as soon as possible. We had meetings with the Mayors office and called on the super team of Finn Kay, Rob Crook who along with R.C.K designed and built the centre in March 2016.With a few design tweaks worked out with The Womens Centre team new Plans were submitted to the Mayors office and once we had permission to repair, the team started full steam ahead to get the centre up and running as quickly as possible.The Build is now complete and we are very happy that the centre is now being handed back to The Womens Centre team to give back a safe space and distribution to the women of the camp.
