Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

RAY is an incredible charity - small, well-run and brilliant at supporting refugees and asylum seekers who find themselves in York. 

Entirely self-funded, and supported by committed volunteers, it runs on a shoe-string, offering support, training, advice and community to people who might otherwise feel lost in their new world.

What will you be funding? This:

  • £500 is for essential clothing and shoes for 10 newly arrived asylum seekers (they often arrive with nothing)
  • £500 is for essential food supplies for a family for 2 months

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.



About the charity

RAY runs a drop-in, The Hub, for refugees, asylum seekers & migrants. We offer English classes, an information & support session, Turkish and Arabic classes & craft activities for children & a shared meal as well as a hardship fund. We also run a youth & sports group, and summer trips.
