Our Impact 2024-2025: How, together, we provided a lifeline to people seeking safety in the UK

Refugee Action's Our Impact 2024-2025 report shares highlights from a year of standing with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Presented as a welcome, stories, impact in numbers and partners, it describes casework that helps people submit fresh asylum claims, gather evidence and secure suitable accommodation, connects people with lived-experience groups such as RAS Voice, and sets out the charity's vision of a future where refugees get justice, live free of poverty and can rebuild their lives.
