The Indoamerican Refugee and Migrant Organisation (IRMO) is a community organisation run by and for Latin American refugees, migrants and asylum-seekers living in London. IRMO aims to assist Latin Americans to successfully integrate with British society, gaining access to opportunities for education, employment and mainstream services, while maintaining their cultural identity.

We promote charitable causes for the benefit of people of Indoamerican origin, primarily but not exclusively resident in Great Britain, by the advancement of education and culture, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.

We aim to raise awareness throughout society of the problems faced by refugees and migrants and also of the positive contribution they can make.

We are particularly concerned to help young Latin Americans growing up here to adapt to life in the UK without losing touch with their cultural roots, since many young Latin Americans in the UK suffer from isolation, bullying and consequently high levels of school drop-out, which can lead into illegal activities if they do not receive culturally sensitive support. We aim to use the arts to build friendship and understanding within our community and society at large.

Irmo provides assistance to around 1500 persons every year, encompassing the Latin American, Spanish Speaking members of the community and all persons who have just migrated to the United Kingdom and need assistance with their settling in.
