For many refugees, their journey to safety can end not with security but with sleeping on the street. After surviving unimaginable challenges, they face the harsh reality of homelessness— a crisis that has risen by 99% in the last 12 months alone*.

The problem is mostly due to the restricted time-frame of 7-28 days given to refugees once their status has been approved.

With so little time available to secure work and a new home, an increasing amount of refugees are finding themselves destitute. At Refugee Support Group, we are working tirelessly to change this reality. We have partnered with Reading Borough Council on a homeless project to support individuals with no recourse to public funding, such as refugees. Together, we are helping them transition from the streets and into safe spaces.

This outdoor event is an opportunity for you to make a difference. Please sign up today and help us raise awareness about this crisis. Fundraising will go towards RSG’s vital services.

Services like our drop-in centres. Our three drop-in centers offer a warm, safe space where refugees and asylum seekers can find refreshments, vital support, solidarity, and guidance. In the last two years, approx. 4000 clients attended our weekly drop-ins.
