We know that when refugees are welcomed, they can thrive. Yet many refugees still face significant challenges as they rebuild their lives after arriving safely in the UK. Finding a job, getting an education, learning the language and accessing basic services such as the NHS can all be challenging. The IRC is here to help with that, working with refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Sudan and beyond.
