Refugee & Asylum SeekerSupport

Providing Hope, Dignity and Opportunities for a New Beginning

OneVoice Global Foundation is committed to supporting refugees, asylum seekers and displaced individuals and families who face hardship, uncertainty and challenges in rebuilding their lives. We believe everyone deserves dignity, safety, compassion and the opportunity to build a better future, regardless of their background, nationality or circumstances.

Through humanitarian assistance, education, wellbeing services, community integration and partnership programmes, we aim to help vulnerable individuals access essential support, develop their potential and become active members of their communities.

  • Relieving hardship
  • Creating opportunities
  • Building belonging

01Asylum Seeker Support

The asylum process can be a challenging and uncertain period for individuals and families. Many face financial hardship, social isolation, language barriers, emotional distress and difficulties accessing essential services.

  • Emergency Hardship Support

    Signposting and, where funding permits, providing limited emergency financial or material assistance.

  • Advice and Guidance

    Helping individuals understand available public services and connecting them with appropriately qualified immigration advisers and legal support organisations.

  • Health and Wellbeing

    Facilitating access to mental health awareness, counselling referrals, wellbeing activities and appropriate healthcare services.

  • English Language Support

    Providing or facilitating English conversation groups, language learning and communication skills.

  • Community Integration

    Organising social gatherings, cultural activities, befriending and mentoring opportunities to reduce isolation.

  • Family and Children's Support

02Refugee Community Sponsorship

Bringing Communities Togetherto Welcome Refugees

OneVoice Global Foundation aspires to participate in recognised refugee resettlement and community sponsorship programmes in the United Kingdom.

We believe that welcoming refugees should be a shared community responsibility. Charities, local communities, businesses, educational institutions and volunteers can work together to help individuals and families rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive environment.

Subject to obtaining the necessary approvals, accreditation or working through an authorised lead sponsor, we aim to develop community sponsorship partnerships to support eligible refugees arriving in the UK through recognised resettlement routes.
