Chronicling the lives of Filipino women in Britain
The Centre for Filipinos, in London, has been serving the Filipino Community in the UK for 25 years.
Established in 1979 to recognise the needs of migrant workers, it gives advice and information, primarily to women, on a wide range of social issues including employment, health, education and welfare rights. Long regarded as an 'invisible' minority, Filipinos have been arriving into this country for several generations.
To mark its 25th anniversary, the Centre for Filipinos has published Hinabing Gunta (Woven Memories), a book which chronicles the emergence of the Filipino community and highlights the different circumstances which brought people to Britain and their contrasting experiences of life here.
Angela Robson met three of the women who took part in the project.
