We help refugees to enter stable, meaningful employment.

Story

Refugees face unemployment levels four times the national average. Breaking Barriers supports refugees in London into employment, offering 1-1 advice and guidance as well as English language and IT classes. They work directly with businesses which offer paid work-placements and permanent job opportunities. Refugees need our help now more than ever, as the employment landscape becomes more challenging as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this, this Monday 60 people from across UBS IB London will be cycling on a 100k adventure as a safe way to raise money for Breaking Barriers to continue supporting refugees in London into employment.
