Croeso/welcome We empower sanctuary seekers and refugees to build new futures in Wales and have over 33 years’ of 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. “Welsh Refugee Council is the beginning of the end of the trauma. It is where the running stops and recovery starts.” We support sanctuary seekers and refugees at the most critical points of their lives. Our work enables people who have been forced to seek sanctuary to find their feet and begin building a life in Wales. With your support, we help people find a place to stay, work to support themselves, access to English classes, legal advice, and community networks. Our work directly helps people to feel less isolated, more informed, upskilled, and able to speak up on matters that affect them. VISION: Working together to create a Wales where sanctuary seekers and refugees are welcomed, respected, and empowered.
