Refugee Survival Trust

Our vision is a welcoming, inclusive, safe Scotland for refugees and people seeking asylum, where all live free of destitution and have the means and opportunities to realise their full potential.

We provide refugees and people seeking asylum with practical support when it is most needed, build connections between people and use what we learn to campaign for change.

Refugee Survival Trust was set up in 1996 by a group of people who felt deeply concerned by the destitution facing refugees and people seeking safety in Scotland as a result of the asylum system. Our work can only exist thanks to the loyal support of our members, the generosity of our donors and the expertise of our team members, board of directors and volunteers.
