Description

Refugee Support Europe is an organization founded in 2016 that provides practical support for displaced people, fosters solidarity, and advocates for systemic change. They bridge the gap between arrival and settlement through a dignified, choice-based system, offering essential goods in welcoming community spaces called “Dignity Centres.” Their work is guided by three core values: dignity (treating everyone as a person with agency), solidarity (standing alongside displaced people and building authentic relationships), and community (creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, heard, and empowered). The organization’s approach includes maintaining Dignity Centres in areas with large refugee communities trapped in protracted emergencies, responding quickly to crises where their expertise in dignity-first distribution can support displaced people on a short-term basis, and advocating for an alternative to the prevailing hostility towards displaced people. They encourage people to get involved through volunteering, following them on social media, or contacting them through their website form.
