Refugee Resettlement

Refugees are people fleeing persecution, violence and conflict and are often unable to travel far beyond the borders of their home country. They often live in refugee camps or urban settings for years; many children have lived their entire lives in refugee camps. One of the ways in which the UN’s Refugee Agency (UNHCR) helps such refugees is to offer resettlement to another country.

Our newly established Refugee Resettlement service offers support to a small number of families that are living in West-Lancashire.

Our experienced caseworker supports the families to resettle into the community and works with them intensively to support their integration too.
