A Great British Welcome

A Great British Welcome is a series of stories profiling people across the UK who are supporting refugees.

Across the United Kingdom, people are opening their hearts and lives to refugees and saying ‘welcome’ in a range of innovative ways. Some are supporting refugees to access education and housing, or restart their careers. Others are helping them overcome trauma or have their voices heard. In this series, we hear the stories of refugees and the individuals, projects and organisations across the country offering them A Great British Welcome.
