”I am enormously proud to be Chair of dynamic, courageous Refugee Action. Its impact is wide reaching - In addition to directly helping thousands of people each year through our frontline services, Refugee Action also focuses on tackling the root causes of the problems refugees and people seeking asylum face. Every bit of our work and success is only possible with our partners, supporters and funders.

We have achieved and learnt so much from working together with philanthropists and trusts to build strategic programmes that have had significant impact on the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.

”When I arrived, I didn’t know anything, I started from zero; you showed me how to use the kettle to help us make a cup of tea.

I have never met workers like the people at Refugee Action. They support people from different countries and different cultures, introducing us to everything.

My basic understanding of the system in the UK started with Refugee Action, and everything I know about this country I learned from them. I can’t tell you how grateful I feel.
