Croeso Welcome
Welsh Refugee Council is an independent charity that empowers refugees to rebuild their lives in Wales. It has offices in Cardiff, Wrexham, Swansea and Newport.
It works in four ways:
- WRC runs specialist teams that give asylum seekers and refugees advice, for example, they help people to understand the asylum system, find a lawyer and deal with any health and housing problems. Children who have arrived without their parents have a specialist advice worker. People with the right to work can get advice on job-hunting.
- WRC runs innovative arts events such as Refugee Week which tell a refugee story, in partnership with artistic, cultural and educational organisations.
- WRC works with Welsh politicians, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Home Office, to develop fair policies for asylum seekers and refugees in Wales.
- WRC works in partnership with small organisations and individuals throughout Wales to promote the inclusion of refugees in local communities.
We welcome enquiries about how to get involved in our work.
