Dost centre for refugees

Who we are

 Dost Centre has been running since 2000 and since 2017 as an independent charity. We provide activities so that young people can make new friendships, improve their English, stay active and healthy, receive support with issues which may be affecting them, be referred onto other programmes or organisations that can support them to gain employment skills, see different places in the UK and meet and mix with young people and adults from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

The young people we work with may have experienced many challenges and often arrive in the UK feeling alone, vulnerable, isolated and lost. They often don't have the support of their families or speak the language or understand the local culture; therefore they need somewhere where they feel safe, accepted and supported in order to be able to grow and develop. Dost aims to provide this space to them and to equip them for their journey ahead.
