We partner with community, voluntary and statutory sector bodies to support sanctuary seekers and refugees at the most critical points of their lives. Our work has evolved to meet all the needs of our clients as they begin to build a life in Wales. Through our projects, we help people:

We are here to help people to feel less isolated and more informed and upskilled so they are able to speak up on the matters that affect them. Through research rooted in lived experience, we are committed to sharing our findings so that services for sanctuary seekers can grow for good.

In the face of an ongoing UK legal aid crisis and harmful UK government policies, across our projects we provided 14,368 support sessions to sanctuary seekers and refugees in 2023.
