OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
We developed
our services based on the health needs of our clients and on an "Integrated
Holistic Model of Support".
This model acknowledges
the whole person
and all their physical, social, emoUonal
and spiritual
needs. The majorffy of
refugees
and
asylum
seekers
are suffering
from depression
and Post Traumatic
Stress
Disorder
due to their past
experiences.
In addition,
language
banters,
financial
difficulties
and poverty,
homelessness
or poor accommodation,
cultural
barriers
and lack of employment
were the main factors hindering
them from rebuilding
their lives and achieving
their full potential.
Our Holistic Model ofSupport provides a range ofactivies a5 under one roof. Our main areas ofactivity are:
Advice &Guidance.
We provide advice, information
and support to refugees and asylum seekers on a variety ofissues, promoting
equal access to services,
particularly
health, We also provide emergency
food and cash support when
circumstances
require
it.
Multi-Lingual
Counselling
Service & Emotional
Support
BRSis a registered
member ofthe British Association for Counselling
and Psychotherapy
(BACP) and we
provide a mulU-lingual
professional
counselling
service to support the many people coping with the effects and
trauma ofwar, persecution,
loss and dislocaUon.
We also provide a range oftherapeutic
activities
including
our gardening
project, our Women's
Group,
psycho-educaUonal
workshops
(IAPT), yoga, mindfulness,
arts and drama our Mother &Toddler's
Group and
residential
retreats.
Integration
Support
Our "Journey to Integration"
programme
complements
other BRSactivities and aims to increase integra5on
and
address isolation through
Volunteering,
Mentoring,
ESOL, Citizenship
workshops,
and Homework
Club for
young refugees.
Our mentoring
programme
supports
refugees to leam about their rights, how toaccess public services, and
leam about life in the UK.
We involve refugees
in the volunteer
programme
because parUcipaUng
ln a volunteering
experience can
provide refugees
with conUdence,
employment
and language
skills, and a positive path to Integration.
Each year
around 40to 50% our volunteers
are from refugee backgrounds,
who work closely with clients and other native
speaker volunteers.
Refugee Youth Wellbeing
and Support
We work with young refugees
and asylum seekers aged 11-25,most ofwhom are alone
In the UK without their
families. We support these young people to fulfil their potential
through
intensive
one-to-one support,
sporUng
ac5vi5es, social clubs, English language,
mentoring,
summer/holiday
activiUes,
youth leadership
and access to
one to one counselling. Our Homework
club supports
refugee children of all ages.
Destitution
Support
DestItution
is a huge problem amongst
asylum seekers. Asylum seekers wait months
or years for the outcome
oftheir asylum
claim, during
which most are prohibited
from working
and only receive minimal
or no financial
support
As a result, these asylum seekers are reliant on charities and their limited social networks
to make
ends meet. We have been running a Drop In to support destitute
asylum seekers since 2006.
Support to Other OrganisaUons
We also provide support to local government
organisations
such as the NHS, housing,
welfare and other
government
agencies. We support these organisations
to reach and communicate
with refugee and asylum
seekers within
their communities,
in their own languages
and isa manner which is culturally
sensitive
