Scottish Refugee Council is an independent human rights charity dedicated to supporting people who have fled horrific situations around the world. We believe in a Scotland in which all people seeking refugee protection are welcome and where people seeking sanctuary can live dignified and safe lives.
The individuals and families we work with are from countries where conflict is rife and human rights abuses are common-place. We are proud to welcome and provide sanctuary to people fleeing conflict and persecution in countries like Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan.
We have been advocating and campaigning for the rights of refugees since 1985, and in 2015 we celebrated our 30th anniversary.
