When Romia fled war in Sudan with her four sons, everything felt strange and uncertain.

“I wanted to work, feel like myself again, and give back to my new community.”

With the Refugee Council’s support, Romia updated her CV, registered with the job centre, and received step-by-step guidance. Today, she’s a care worker in Sheffield - supporting elderly people in their homes and spreading kindness every day.

Your support can help someone else take that first step into work.

We know building a new life isn’t just about surviving – we want refugees to find happiness and purpose.

Many people arrive having left everything they know behind. They want to rebuild their lives and start work.

But many continue to face challenges, even after receiving refugee protection. Helping them get to the point where they’re independent again is a key part of what we do.

We’re there for people as they learn English, find work and learn to cope with the trauma they experienced, so they can become independent and contribute to the communities that welcomed them.

Your donations mean we can be there for more refugees hoping to rebuild their lives in Britain: https://www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/support-us/ways-to-donate/donate-today-to-help-a-refugee-into-employment/?fbclid=IwY2xjawT1VChwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5IH4DGXQgJhB0iRnHy_emO_yUNogo0KDBV0XpPviurR18l5YnPG7_yyTeN8Q_aem_TjEsDN5otBIPXPX7qLoBhw

Five years since Kabul fell to the Taliban, Najiba is happy to now call Yorkshire her second home and it's the place where she feels safe. But surviving and finding safety in Britain is not without its sacrifices. Every day she misses her work, her extended family and many friends still in Afghanistan who live in dangerous circumstances.

Many of us will never know what it’s like to flee war, violence or persecution and leave everything behind.

Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain.
