Refugees’ stories
Hear directly from the people we support.
Refugees flee their homes in fear. From war, persecution, and violence. With yet more hardship waiting in the UK.
A new country and language. Stigma and suspicion. Four times more likely to be unemployed. A completely different work culture to navigate.
Often, refugees and people of refugee background are left to face these barriers alone. Together we can break them down, so every refugee will be welcomed into the workplace.
Breaking Barriers is a specialist refugee employment charity. Enabling refugees to build new lives. Step by step.
Our mission
We welcome refugees into meaningful employment with advice, experience and education. We believe in the power of responsible business to change society for the better through our innovative partnerships.
