Here’s what your donation will do

We are seeing increased demand for our services. We need your help more than ever!

• Play support sessions for children to help them overcome the trauma of war and displacement.
• English and language classes to help people flourish in their diverse communities.
• Employment services to ensure that refugees can restart their careers, contribute, and thrive in their new lives in Wales.
• Expert guidance to help people navigate the complex refugee system.
• Destitution and Homelessness support for refugees struggling to survive
• Please help us fight for a fairer, more compassionate asylum system that matches the humanity and care of British society.

What can we do with your generous donation?

£5 could provide mobile data for an asylum seeker to access our online ESOL Classes.
£10 could allow an asylum seeker to develop their English language skills
£25 could help children learn and play for one week in a safe, welcoming space.
£50 could rescue a family from homelessness and poverty.
£100 could reduce the funding gap in our play support services for children.

£1,900 could fund an Advice and Support Case Worker for one month. On average our case workers support 36 asylum seekers or refugees per month through 100 support sessions either face to face, over the phone, or email.

Thank you.

As you are aware, the ongoing coronavirus crisis means that in line with Government guidance, we had to change the way we work to keep you safe.

Your safety, health and well-being were our priority during this challenging time. Last March we moved to a telephone advice service and were able to make this freephone from last September.  Over the last 12 months, we received over 30,000 calls for support.

You can call us on our freephone number for help between the hours of 10 am – 2 pm.

Your call will be triaged by one of our team and if we can help, you will be called back by one of our experienced caseworkers.  Should you need an interpreter we will do our best to have an interpreter available on the phone.

We are providing a number of face-to-face appointments in the office. Please contact the number above to arrange an appointment.

Our daily English Classes were moved online, and we saw great levels of participation- with new groups being set up to meet demand. You can access ESOL resources  by clicking here

We have resumed once a week, face to face English classes for a limited number of people from the Trinity Centre. If you would like to join either our face-to-face class or online groups please contact info@wrc.wales.

Our Play Group worked tirelessly to provide wellbeing checks for families, support on education issues, and provide play packs for the home. We are delighted to advise that face to face play sessions running at The Trinity Centre have resumed.

If you would like to join, please contact Meryl on 07896 522 697

You can keep up to date with the latest information on the Public Health Wales website if you haven’t already

Thank you for your understanding during this challenging period and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Best wishes and keep safe,

Welsh Refugee Council
