About Refugee Action

Refugee Action is an independent, national charity working to enable refugees to build new lives in the UK. We provide practical support for newly arrived asylum seekers as well as a long-term commitment to their settlement. Through our ‘One Stop Service’ (OSS), ‘Gateway Protection Programme’, ‘Refugee Integration and Employment Service’ (RIES) and ‘Choices’ voluntary return service, we give independent, confidential advice and information to asylum seekers and refugees on a breadth of topics. These range from UKBA asylum support, integration and employment following a successful decision, education, health, voluntary return and complex issues such as domestic violence, racial harassment and trafficking.
