Welsh Refugee Council

We are a charity with 30 years’ experience working with asylum seekers and refugees in Wales. We are driven by a passion for human rights, equality and social justice and a desire to make Wales a welcoming nation of sanctuary for those seeking our protection.

We help victims of torture, persecution and war to build futures in Wales through specialist advice, support and advocacy services. We provide urgent support for those in the asylum process and seek to ease the transition to life as a refugee.

We empower sanctuary seekers and refugees to build new futures in Wales and have over 33 years’ experience. We listen to people’s needs, and co-produce projects that create improved pathways of support.

Based in the heart of our communities we deliver specialist support across Wales, from our community hubs in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Carmarthenshire, and Wrexham. We partner with a wide range of community, voluntary and statutory sector bodies to increase our impact and ensure our clients can flourish.
