Our vision is to create a community where refugees can achieve their full potential and be treated as equal members of society. We support refugees and their families by providing the protection they need, aiding in their successful settlement within the local community, and helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and respect.
Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers offers casework, mentoring, and community awareness programs, while also undertaking fundraising activities. By offering training and skills development opportunities, we empower refugees and educate the public about refugee issues, ensuring lasting positive change.
Our impact ensures refugees in Devon find safety, rebuild their lives, and achieve their full potential.
We want Devon to be a county where men, women and children who have been forced to flee from their homes in other parts of the world can find the protection they need. Our organization provides a wide range of services to support refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants arriving in and living in Devon.
Our activities include a drop-in service for practical assistance, tailored resettlement packages, and specialized support for asylum seekers in local hotels. We offer free immigration advice, education and employability programs including ESOL classes and IELTS training, and the RAMP project to help migrant medical professionals integrate into the NHS. Additionally, we run a community garden, a women’s group, and host various events to raise awareness and funds.
These efforts ensure our beneficiaries receive comprehensive support to rebuild their lives with dignity and achieve their full potential.
