Refugee Sanctuary Scotland

Has been supporting refugees and people seeking asylum who face destitution and homelessness in Scotland since 1996. Their vision is a world free from the threat and experience of destitution for refugees. The organisation prevents destitution and homelessness among refugees in Scotland through crucial, timely, practical support. “The support provided by the Foundation is immensely important for our service users. Thanks to the donations in the past, we have been able to provide assistance to so many families and individuals, by being able to offer supermarket vouchers enabling them to buy food and warmer clothing, suited for our cold winters. As the vouchers are given before Christmas, it allows families to buy toys for their children that they would not have been able to afford. One service user commented that he used the vouchers to buy extra food and cooked a meal for his neighbours to build a friendship and integrate with the community. The people we support are marginalised and often feel forgotten in our society, so it always means a lot to them when we provide them with some financial assistance, it brings them immense joy and hope.” – Linda Chau,
