We were delighted to be part of The Room's Fireside Event, Voices of Strength, where two incredible women shared their journeys of courage, resilience and empowerment.

Both women have overcome significant barriers in their lives and are now using their experiences to support and empower others in their communities. Their stories were a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to share your experiences and the difference that can be made when we turn challenges into opportunities to help others.

A huge thank you to The Room for creating such a warm, welcoming space where our women felt comfortable sharing their stories and being heard.

The Room is a collective giving community supporting charities across Oxfordshire that work with women, children and young people. We're so grateful for the opportunity to share these stories, celebrate the strength of the women we work alongside and raising awareness for Refugee Resource.

Of course, our guests went home with copies of our Refugee Resource cookbooks, ready to try some delicious recipes and share tasty dishes with their families and friends!

Last night, Jacqueline, our CEO took part in the CEO Sleepout at University Parks, spending a night outdoors in the rain to raise awareness for homelessness and raise vital funds for Refugee Resource.

Experiencing one night outside gives a small glimpse of the challenges faced by people who have no safe place to call home.

A huge thank you to Oxfordshire Homeless Movement for organising and supporting this fantastic event, and to everyone who braved the weather to make it happen.

All the money raised will go directly to Refugee Resource, helping us to continue our vital work supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants in Oxfordshire.

Theres' still time to donate! Every contribution makes a difference and helps us support people rebuilding their lives.

On Friday 2nd October, partners from across Oxfordshire came together for the Oxford Migration Workshop, a valuable opportunity to share learning, and reflect on the successes of working together to support refugees and asylum seekers across the county.

We heard from organisations about successful partnerships and collaborative approaches and also from people with lived experience about how partnerships has made a real difference in their journeys.
We came together for table discussions to explore the barriers refugees and asylum seekers face and what activities and opportunities can help people feel more connected and integrated into their communities. There was a fantastic exchange of ideas, with valuable contributions from our clients who joined in these discussions.

There was a real sense of community in the room sharing expertise and honest conversations were had about the challenges we face and the importance of continuing to work collaboratively, share knowledge and find solutions.

It was a really positive day of listening, learning and partnership, and a great reminder of what we can achieve when we bring people together.

Our volunteer mentors provide practical guidance, encouragement, and emotional support, helping people feel less isolated, more confident, and better connected to the Oxfordshire community. ❤️

For many people seeking asylum or rebuilding their lives after gaining refugee status, navigating an unfamiliar system can feel overwhelming. Having a consistent mentor alongside them provides reassurance, encouragement, and someone who believes in their potential.

Mentoring has enabled individuals to develop personal action plans, build confidence and take positive steps towards achieving their goals during a period of significant uncertainty.

💤 One week to go!

Next week, our CEO Jacqueline Adusei and Fundraising and New Initiatives Manager Sara Rivera will be taking part in the CEO Sleepout Oxford organised by Oxfordshire Homeless Movement, joining leaders from across Oxfordshire to spend a night outdoors and raise funds to help tackle homelessness.

With just one week to go, they are continuing to work towards their fundraising goal of £1,000.

At Refugee Resource, we know that having a safe and stable place to call home is essential for rebuilding lives. Many of the people we support have experienced conflict, persecution, and displacement, often arriving without a support network or certainty about the future.

🏚️ Housing insecurity is a major barrier for our clients who are rebuilding their lives.

Thank you to everyone who has supported their fundraising so far. If you would like to help them reach their goal, donations can be made here ▶️

We had a very successful day yesterday in Temple Cowley for the OCVA Volunteer Fair. We bumped into old faces who used to be Refugee Resource employees and wanting to come back and help.
Our Volunteer Programme has been a crucial lifeline for us thanks to Oxfordshire Community Foundation supporting us to help our organisation recruit a group of wonderful volunteers all here to support us and add much needed resources to ensure that our clients receive the wraparound support they deserve

International Translation Day honors language professionals, translators, and interpreters who connect nations and foster peace.

Our interpreters play a vital role, helping clients access counselling in their own language and creating a safe, supportive space where they can begin to process trauma and share their experiences.

We're looking for interpreters to assist with translating our counselling sessions.

Please send us an email if you'd like to help!

💤 Only 2 weeks to go!

In two weeks, our CEO Jacqueline Adusei will be taking part in the CEO Sleepout Oxford, organised by Oxfordshire Homeless Movement.

She’ll be joining leaders from across the community to spend one night outdoors, raising money and awareness to help tackle homelessness.

We know that having a safe and secure place to call home is the foundation for rebuilding lives. Many of the people we support have experienced conflict, persecution, and displacement, often arriving in Oxfordshire without support networks or certainty about what comes next.

Jacqueline is aiming to raise £1000 or more. Funds will help Refugee Resource to continue to provide vital therapeutic and practical support to refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants in Oxfordshire.

🌱 “I recognised some plants and objects from my own country. It made me feel like home.”

For someone who has experienced displacement, small moments of familiarity can mean so much.

Our Healing in the Outdoors programme, delivered in partnership with the International Tree Foundation, creates safe spaces where our clients can connect with nature, build friendships, reduce isolation, and support their mental wellbeing.

Being outdoors together provides opportunities to share experiences, rebuild confidence, and create a sense of belonging.

Thank you to everyone who supports this work and helps create spaces where people can feel connected and welcome. 🌿
