Refugee Emergency Response - British Red Cross

The British Red Cross provides limited practical support mainly to refugees who have very recently arrived in the country. Usually refugees are referred to other agencies such as Regional Refugee Councils and refugee community organisations.

The London Branch has also produced an Information Pack containing orientation information on topics such as legal advice, education, health and women's issues. The Information Pack is currently available in English, French, Spanish, Farsi, Kurdish, Somali and Russian, and is aimed at refugees and asylum seekers within the London area.
