Refugee Action campaigns
Refugee Action has campaigned for people who come to the UK seeking protection to be treated more fairly and humanely.
Due to a devastating 60% reduction in government funding to our refugee and asylum advice services, Refugee Action is reducing costs by putting all of our resources into frontline services. Sadly, this means for the time being, we will not be able to fund public-facing campaigns work. We will however, continue to influence policy on behalf of refugees and people seeking asylum, through our public affairs and media work, and dialogue with government.
Over the last few years Refugee Action has campaigned to end destitution among refused asylum seekers, as part of the Still Human Still Here coalition. Thanks to the strength of our supporters, we also campaigned successfully against cuts to asylum support levels, alongside children’s, parenting and faith organisations; and together with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) organisations, we have been instrumental in achieving a fairer process for lesbian and gay people seeking asylum in the UK.
We have joined the Justice for All coalition, to campaign against cuts to independent advice and legal aid. Find out more and get involved.
Find out how you can help people seeking safety, at this very difficult time, through volunteering, joining fundraising events and spreading facts about asylum.
