The Welsh Refugee Council is a sister organisation to the Refugee Council and Scottish Refugee Council, and works to help asylum seekers and refugees in Wales.

About Welsh Refugee Council

The Welsh Refugee Council (WRC) is a Wales-based charity committed to protecting the rights of asylum seekers and refugees (RASs) in Wales. For over 28 years, the organisations have been providing advice, information and practical support to asylum seekers and refugees in Wales as they navigate their way through the UK immigration system and transition into their new life in Wales. The organisation speaks out and support those fleeing persecution, conflict, and various forms of injustice and abuse at our offices in Cardiff, Wrexham, Swansea and Newport and works in partnership with Refugee Council, Scottish Refugee Council and the Northern Refugee Centre.

History

In January 2011, the UK Border Agency announced funding cuts for the Welsh Refugee Council, along with other refugee agencies across the country. It is thought that the One Stop Service, which provides advice to asylum seekers and refugees in Wales could face cuts of 62%.^[1] Whilst, the Welsh Refugee Council welcomes the decision by the UK Minister of Immigration, Damien Green, to extend funding until early 2013, it remains anxious over the potential impact of spending cuts on the services it offers vulnerable people in urgent need of aid and assistance.

In its response to planned cutbacks, the Welsh Refugee Council issued a joint statement with its counterparts in England and Scotland: "Savage cuts to the refugee charity sector will force people who have already fled torture, conflict and persecution in their own countries to suffer even further while seeking safety in the UK."^[1]
