How we support refugees
Our help for refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants
The British Red Cross is the UK’s largest independent provider of services for refugees, asylum seekers, vulnerable migrants and survivors of trafficking.
From volunteering to participating in a challenge event to using our teaching resources, there are many ways you can support refugees through the Red Cross.
As part of the international Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, we support people who are forced to flee their homes overseas.
Together, we help people find safe routes to new countries and provide essential aid. We also support survivors of trafficking, and victims or survivors of sexual or gender-based violence, well as people who have come to the UK from Ukraine.
