Welcome to the NRC website. We hope that you find the information or advice you are looking for. If you do not, then please let us know (see contacts page) and we will try and improve the website to take that into account.

As you will see from this website, the NRC provides a range of services that aim to improve the conditions of and opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers across Yorkshire and Humberside, and particularly in South Yorkshire. This is only possible thanks to the commitment of our staff and volunteers and the refugees and refugee groups that we work with. To maintain and build upon these services obviously requires funding and organising. If you want to help us, please check out the volunteering page, or details of how to make a donation are on our contacts page.
 

We also try to ensure that our activities are focused on the broader issues affecting refugees and asylum seekers, not just negative ones, like hostile media, discrimination and harassment, but also the positive aspects like how refugees can benefit the social, economic and cultural development of host communities.

We always aim to ensure that our services respond to the changing needs of refugees and asylum seekers and of local communities where they live. Please let us have any ideas you have on how we could do this better (see ourcontacts page.).


Mission Statement

The NRC is an independent charitable organisation that exists to promote the welfare of all refugees and asylum seekers within the Yorkshire and Humber region.

We provide advice and assistance to refugees and asylum seekers and offer support to refugee community organisations whilst also raising public awareness about the needs of individuals seeking refuge and protection within the region.

We strive towards improving services and opportunities for refugees to make possible their integration into the wider community.


To enable us to work towards our mission statement we have developed services in response to the expressed needs of refugees and asylum-seekers. Users of our services are routinely consulted about the relevance, effectiveness and quality of our services.
