Emerging Talent and Graduate Team and Welsh Refugee Council are partnering for Project Give Back, which aims to raise £50,000 to support asylum seekers and refugees in Wales.

Imagine you only had £6.43 a day to spend on everything you need before you had the right to work. This is the reality many newly granted refugees face. What would you do?

How much do you spend on food daily? What about your phone bill? What about your Netflix account? Football training? When you see it from this angle, you realise how truly insufficient £6.43 a day is to live your life.

- £5 enables a refugee to learn English, so they feel less isolated or lonely, and helps them secure a job.

- £10 could provide a newly granted refugee specialist employability information and advice so they can pursue their career goals.

£20 could give a family one-to-one support to help them understand the next steps of their new lives in Wales.

Your impact

When an asylum seeker receives a positive decision on their refugee application, they only have 28 days to open a bank account, secure alternative accommodation before they are evicted and find a job. For many this process makes them feel scared, alone, and anxious.

This is where Welsh Refugee Council's (WRC) Education and Employability Programme comes in! They provide refugees with English classes, one-to-one employability workshops, and specialist advice to help refugees pursue their career goals and avoid poverty.

With your support, we can help even more people like Jairo below.
