Bristol Refugee Rights

Who we are

Bristol Refugee Rights exists to support people seeking asylum, refugees and people with insecure immigration status. The asylum process is long, arduous, hostile and often deeply damaging for people’s emotional and physical wellbeing, with people waiting in often impoverished circumstances, in a legal limbo, for the possibility of their claim being rejected. 

BRR is a service delivery organisation but also works to achieve systemic change. We offer our service users holistic support and high-level asylum and entitlements advice, as well as community and compassion. While we are not a law-based organisation, we do advocate on behalf of our members to the HO, council, NHS, lawyers and other organisations in order to make sure they are receiving the right amount of care, support and entitlements.

Here at Bristol Refugee Rights, we envision a society where refugees, asylum seekers and migrants are welcomed, feel safe, live free of poverty and are able to positively build their lives. A society that prioritises care, compassion and support for the most vulnerable.
