Together we can help every refugee in Berkshire this Christmas. Each year, we support hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers who have escaped war, violence and persecution. Together we can give them a lifeline and help them rebuild their lives.

Situation
For 28 years we have helped refugees from 50+ countries who have escaped war, persecution and modern slavery. Many are victims of human trafficking. Some have No Recourse to Public Funds. Refugees experience unimaginable physical and psychological trauma on their long, tough journey to the UK, When they arrive in Berkshire, they face poverty, isolation, severe mental health issues, exploitation, the language barrier, racism and the 'hostile environment'.
Solution
Our social activities help refugees to make friends, express themselves, grow in confidence and improve their mental health. We provide free legal advice and practical help with mental health, housing, benefits, immigration status, poverty and more. We run one-to-one Befriending sessions where refugees can learn English and socialise. We run a homework club for schoolkids. We provide food parcels and help our clients to volunteer and find work.
