UK organizations lack current data on the Somali community in the London borough of Camden. This research aims to fill the gap in data in order to make more informed decisions regarding programs, policies, and services offered to the community. Specifically, it investigates the challenges and accomplishments in the community under topics of education, employment, health, housing, identity, and safety. To gather data, an online survey was distributed to members of the Camden community alongside focus groups, interviews, and conversations around the community. The results suggest the community has ongoing problems with identity and youth safety paralleled with continued educational barriers. Overcrowding is worsening, but prior problems with employment and health have greatly improved.
