Refugee Action works with people who have fled war, violence and persecution. They get them the support they need to live in dignity, and build safe and productive lives here in the UK.

The UK based charity supports people seeking safety in Britain with frontline services, and by campaigning for change. With 19 projects across the country, the charity supports refugees and asylum seekers with everything from English lessons to claiming asylum. Refugee Action is also one of the biggest providers of refugee resettlement in the UK, supporting refugees throughout their first year in the UK.

Refugee Action’s vision is a future where refugees and people seeking protection are given the compassion, justice and support they need to live with dignity, believing that we have the power to make the UK a country that truly welcomes refugees.
