SYRIA HOUSE
Since news of the earthquake emerged, we have been frantically working: assisting our loved ones, bereaved by the losses, and supporting the heroic efforts of local organisations, The White Helmets, and volunteers on the ground who have been on the forefront to save every life possible, confronted with a dreadful lack of resources and equipment.
With no official space in London to represent all the Syrian people, ‘The Syria House’ will serve such a purpose, and welcome all those who wish to grieve with us and pay their respects.
Join us here in our home away from home. #SyriaHouse
Opening times:
Wednesday 15 February, 12:00 - 20:00
THURSDAY 16 FEBRUARY, 12:00 - 20:00
Friday 17 February, 12:00 - 20:00
There will be a vigil each evening - 19:00 - 18:00
Created by Action For Sama, Madaniya Civil Society Network, Syrian British Consortium and other Syrian organisations.
