Help make a more welcoming Wales

Last year, nearly 5,000 people seeking safety came to us for help. People facing uncertainty, homelessness and destitution found somewhere safe to turn — for trusted immigration advice, practical support, building language skills, and safe spaces where children could play, learn and grow.

Help us to be there for the next person who arrives in Wales, seeking safety

Whether you walk, run, bake or find another fun way to fundraise, every penny you raise will help support people seeking safety in Wales.

Together, we can make sure no one has to face their new life alone.
