The team
We are a team who specialises with Asylum Seekers and their immigration matters. Our mission is to help vulnerable people overcome adversity and trauma. We also facilitate our client’s asylum applications in hope of gaining their legal status to remain in the UK.
Everyone in the team is passionate and driven to help young people rebuild their lives after experiencing atrocities abroad. Our clients arrive here unaccompanied and often without the ability to speak English. This makes them particularly vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination.
Empowering Everyone
We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We want to represent the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all individuals, especially those from groups that are currently underrepresented in the organisation, as shown in our Workforce Equality Report
