Advocate

Advocacy
JRS-UK defends the rights of refugees. We improve refugees’ quality of life by influencing public opinion, lobbying and raising awareness of the real hardships that they face in the UK, especially during the period they are asylum seekers. Most of this is done in collaboration with other organisations whether faith-based or secular. Advocacy in JRS starts by listening to the concerns of the vulnerable and then working with them to find solutions.

We regularly contribute to public policy consultations, advocacy campaigns and educational programmes. We are members of:
Still Human, Still Here
London Citizens/Citizens UK
Churches Refugee Network
Asylum Rights Campaign
London Destitution Advice Network
No Accommodation Network
Child Soldiers International (Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers)
Landmine Action
