Help us to reach asylum seeking children in Europe and reunite them with their family members in the UK. There are thousands of children in refugee camps and on the streets of Europe who should be safe with their family. We use the law to provide safe and legal routes to be with their family.

Situation
There are currently more than 14,000 unaccompanied children in Europe who are looking to claim asylum and be somewhere safe. There are a set of laws that enshrine their right to be with their family members, however access to those laws is difficult. Covid-19 has a huge threat to the thousands of people living in overcrowded camps in Greece and elsewhere in Europe. One camp on Lesvos was designed for 3,000 people and currently has more than 20,000 living in it.
Solution
Our lawyers provide the vital legal support these children need to reunite with their families. We work across borders, from our base in London and with our teams in France and Greece to make sure children are able to access the law and reunite with their family. We support cases with our specialist expert advice, bringing hundred of children to safety. We campaign to improve the system that puts barriers in front of children trying to reach their family, and to help those with no family.
