For almost 30 years, Refugee Sanctuary Scotland has worked to alleviate destitution among refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland by providing practical support when it is most needed - including a safe place to stay; emergency financial support; bus fares to tackle transport poverty; and help to access legal services, education, health and wellbeing support, and social services. We have also worked to build connections between people and use what we learn to raise public awareness and campaign for change.
