Refugee Action is responding to the particular problems faced by people seeking safety in the UK which put them at high risk during this pandemic.
To name a few, these include difficulties in accessing healthcare, being more likely to have pre-existing health conditions and experiencing homelessness or very poor quality housing.
Although their needs – safety, security, dignity – in many ways match those of everyone living in the UK, we have had to change dramatically the way we provide support to meet these needs.
