Refuweegee is a registered charity warmly welcoming forcibly displaced people to Glasgow, and broader Scotland. Our purposes as recorded in our constitution, are to 1. Support the forcibly displaced community arriving in Glasgow and Scotland through the provision of community-built welcome packs, 2. Engage both old and new communities in activities and events and 3. Work with international organisations to raise awareness and understanding of issues faced by the forcibly displaced community. We support people immediately and sustain this help over many years if needed. We support asylum seekers, refugees and anyone in need of help. This intentional act helps build bridges between new and established communities.

Objectives: 1.1 Providing welcome packs to refugees, asylum seekers and forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow and the surrounding area to ease their transition to life in an unfamiliar place and help them feel welcome in their new home. 1.2 Working in collaboration with international organisations with the aim of raising awareness of the difficulties faced by refugees, asylum seekers and forcibly displaced people worldwide. and 1.3 Organising and delivering events both locally and internationally, providing a platform for community engagement and integration.
