Scotland Welcomes Refugees and Migrants!

Tim from France, Maria from Sweden and Razgar from Kurdistan, all are friends and supporters of Positive Action in Housing, a small Scottish refugee and migrant homelessness and human rights charity based in Glasgow. Tim, Maria and Razgar give their time both professionally and personally to helping others to rebuild their lives.

They are getting together to raise awareness of the global refugee crisis and our work to help refugee and migrant families rebuild their lives.

Our Lifeline Service offers advice, shelter, and crisis support and helps people rebuild their lives. In 2017-18, we distributed over £60K in crisis support to refugees from Syria, Eritrea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine. We also arrange thousands of nights of shelter in the homes of our volunteers for refugees, refused asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants left destitute by current asylum laws.
