About us
Who we are
Conversation Over Borders builds communities of people welcoming refugees and asylum seekers to ensure everyone has the tools they need to thrive in their new lives in the UK. We work with refugees and asylum seekers across the UK, offering English & Befriending, Mental Wellbeing, Digital Inclusion support and championing refugee voices through storytelling and campaign work.
We make a lasting difference to people’s lives through fostering long-term relationships; connecting asylum seekers with the wider community through language learning and psychosocial support and countering negative messaging about asylum seekers and refugees in the current political and media climate.
We are a Wellbeing-oriented organisation: for our clients, volunteers and staff. Employee benefits in this respect includes generous holiday allowance (4 weeks pro rata + a week in the summer and at Christmas), 1-1 supervision and flexible working.
