JESUITS IN BRITAIN
The Jesuit Refugee Service in the UK is a work of the British Province of the Society of Jesus, to whom we are grateful for their continuing support and to whom we are accountable and report regularly.
OUR GOVERNANCE
JRS UK upholds the principle of subsidiarity, endeavouring to be openly accountable for our work and transparent in our decision making. We work in partnership with other religious congregations, humanitarian organisations and refugees themselves. We encourage co-responsibility, discernment and participative decision making.
The Director is supported and advised by our management committee, which meets 4 times a year. JRS UK works closely with the Jesuit Refugee Service International, the Jesuit Refugee Service Europe and other Jesuit projects in Britain.
