Welsh Refugee Council

Croeso! For over 35 years, we’ve been on a mission to empower sanctuary seekers and refugees to build new futures here in Wales. We don’t just offer support – we listen, we co-create, and we build pathways that help people thrive. Because let’s face it, that’s what it’s all about. We’re based right in the heart of our communities – so whether you’re in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, Carmarthenshire, or Wrexham, you’ll find our team delivering expert support where it’s needed most. At the Welsh Refugee Council, we don’t do things the usual way. We partner up with a bunch of amazing community, voluntary, and statutory organisations to make sure our impact goes far and wide. More hands, more hearts, more hope! “The Welsh Refugee Council is the beginning of the end of the trauma. It is where the running stops and recovery starts.” – And we couldn’t agree more. We stand alongside sanctuary seekers and refugees at some of the most critical points in their lives. Our job is to help people who’ve been forced to seek safety to find their feet and start building a future right here in Wales. VISION: Working together to create a Wales where sanctuary seekers and refugees are welcomed, respected, and empowered. MISSION: We improve the lives of sanctuary seekers and refugees through specialist support and influencing policy and practice. OUR VALUES: 1. Brave. We are bold, innovative, and we take action. Diverse. We recognise that strengths we each bring, and each other’s uniqueness. Croeso/Welcome. We create environments, that engage and welcome. Influential. We empower people to tell their stories and use our data to lift narratives. Collaborative. We recognise the importance of working in partnership and building each other’s capacity.
