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.

Self Isolation doesn't have to mean social isolation

CORONAVIRUS APPEAL: The majority of the individuals that Birchwood supports are already vulnerable. The impact of the Coronavirus on their lives will no doubt put pressure on fragile communities already experiencing a wide range of health and social problems, having serious implications both short time and long term.
