Working in partnership with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) the Refugee Council support some of the most vulnerable refugees who are resettled under internationally agreed resettlement schemes. I worked as producer with director Nimer Rashed to produce a film showing how resettled refugees had rebuilt their lives in Hull, celebrating Hull’s contribution as a city of sanctuary over the past 10 years.
Since 1951 the British Refugee Council has worked directly with thousands of refugees and asylum seekers every year, supporting them from the moment they arrive in the UK. The Refugee Council provide advice and support with finding a place to live, work and training, specialised services for children who arrive in the UK alone, and mental health services to address the trauma that so many have experienced.
