Refugees have fled unimaginable situations such as war, torture and persecution. They are looking for a safe place to rebuild their lives, as any of us would.
The Refugee Council is the leading charity working with asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. We provide vital support and specialist care to some of the most vulnerable and marginalised members of our society. We are committed to creating a fair and humane asylum system that provides protection and enables refugees to rebuild their lives in safety and dignity. We speak out for the rights of refugees and challenge government policy, the media and hostile public attitudes.
As a human rights charity, independent of government, we rely on donations to run our life saving and life changing services for refugees.
