Refugee Council

Refugee Council

We work with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK.  We offer practical support and advice throughout their journey in the UK.  We have been helping refugees for more than 60 years and have a thorough understanding of the difficulties facing people arriving in the UK, having fled war, rape, torture and with unimaginable stories to tell.  Many refugees have lost everything and their lives will never return to normal.  We offer a helping hand to support and empower them to rebuild their lives.

Refugee Council has received exemption from the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner to provide immigration advice and holds the Quality Mark for our asylum advice work.

Our Vision

A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.

Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.

In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.

They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.

Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
