Scottish Refugee Council

Scottish Refugee Council is Scotland’s national refugee charity. Every year they support thousands of men, women, and children as they rebuild their lives in Scotland. The organization provides direct support and advice services, promotes community integration, stands up for refugee rights, and campaigns for a fairer, more humane asylum system. Their Refugee Support Service operates via a helpline and appointments only, with no drop-in service available. The helpline (0808 1967 274) is free and confidential, though they note that they receive a high volume of calls and callers may be placed in a queue before speaking to an advisor. Alternatively, people can complete their contact form, and they will respond within 3 working days. The organization believes that everyone seeking safety should receive the same warm welcome and respect, no matter where they’re from or how they arrived. Scottish Refugee Council is a registered charity (SC008639).
