Welcome to Bristol Refugee Rights website
Bristol Refugee Rights
Bristol Refugee Rights was set up as a voluntary organisation in 2005
to uphold and champion the human rights of asylum seekers and
refugees. We provide a place of welcome in Bristol where asylum
seekers and refugees can meet and be supported to play a full part in
the life of the wider community and also campaign for the human
rights of refugees and asylum seekers. Bristol Refugee Rights aims to
deliver a ‘user-led’ service that addresses the practical, psychological
and human rights needs of refugees and asylum seekers by:
- Welcoming people into a safe place
- Empowering people to achieve an independent and productive life
- Enabling social inclusion
- Bringing public attention to human rights aspects of asylum law and
practice based on information collected in the welcome centre.
The key values that underpin the work of Bristol Refugee Rights are
inclusion, partnership working, commitment to provision of a quality
service, empowerment and accountability. We work to sustain these
values both in the Welcome Centre and in our human rights
campaigning.
