What our members say:
“I became a Member of Welsh Refugee Council, as I want everyone to feel welcome when they arrive in Wales. I feel passionately about supporting people who have fled war, persecution, or violence through no fault of their own. I made Wales my home 42 years ago and I want everyone to feel as welcome as I did” – Member Wendy
