Double Digits Baby! Ten years of Refuweegee

Campaign by Refuweegee

From 7 December 2025 to 7 December 2026, Refuweegee will celebrate ten years of welcoming people who are making a new home in Scotland. We’re here for everyone. Please be here for us as we face our next ten years. Love and solidarity always,

Refuweegee was set up in December 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow. As a result of the amazing response from people in Glasgow and beyond, we have provided over 5000 community-built, personal welcome packs to people all over Glasgow and across Scotland.

Story

Ten years of embodying Scotland’s famous welcome; ten years of hard work, fun, love and solidarity. And a few tears along the way too!

For ten years, we’ve been saying we have the best supporters. You have made what we do possible and we need you to keep going.

Our supporters have always had our back – thank you.

Ten years ago there were two volunteers running Refuweegee: Selina and Hannah. Now, Selina and Hannah lead a team of 13 people welcoming around 350 people every day.

We help everyone and anyone at their point of need and this takes a huge amount of staff skill and resources. Winter is always the hardest for people in abject poverty. Asylum seekers accommodated in hotels receive an allowance of just £8.86 per week making meaningful lives impossible.

Life gets harder over the winter. There’s four hard months to get through so please help us remain a constant source of help for everyone needing it – whether they are lonely, street homeless or hungry.

We’re here for everyone. Please be there for us.

If you give already, please can you give a bit extra?

If you’ve given in the past, please can you give again?

If you’ve never given before, now’s the time – please give and get us through the winter.

Glasgow – you’re the best!
