Refugee Council, Newham
The Refugee Council is a leading charity working with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Founded in 1951 following the creation of the UN Refugee Convention, we exist to support and empower people who have fled conflict, violence and persecution in order to rebuild their lives here in the UK. We work with over 13,000 women, men and children each year who are desperately seeking safety. From the moment refugees arrive in the UK, we are here.
The following is offered by the Refugee Council:
-
We provide crisis advice, mental health counselling and practical support to help people settle and integrate into their new community.
-
We are specialists in working with refugee children who arrive in the UK alone.
-
We work with refugees and our partners to fight for improvements to the asylum protection system.
-
We inspire change in attitudes towards refugees and people seeking asylum—speaking out for compassion fairness and kindness.
