Fundraise with the Welsh Refugee Council

Can you raise funds to help vulnerable sanctuary seekers and refugees living in Wales?

In 2024, we supported over 4,900 individuals who were forced to flee their homes with the clothes on their backs; a 25% rise in people needing our support from the year before. With your help, we can continue to give emergency support, advice, and essential service delivery to those most in need. With the help of people like you, we can make real changes and continue to help sanctuary seekers and refugees across Wales.
