Community development

Our Community Development Team works in partnership with refugees and offers help with setting up, managing and fund-raising for community, cultural and self-help groups.

The Basis Project

The BASIS project is a national service which provides direct support to Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) to help them to manage, develop and sustain their work. We help with financial management, project development, fundraising and organisational development.

BASIS is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and is a partnership between Refugee Action and the Refugee Council. It also helps funders to improve their understanding of RCOs, their needs and the benefits they bring to the community at large.

RCOs in Yorkshire and Humberside and North East areas are supported by the BASIS Organisations Development Manager (ODO). For more information please call 020 7654 7713  or visit the BASIS website
