Many refugees in the UK face digital exclusion, which impedes their job search and skills-building efforts. Breaking Barriers and Screen Share UK are tackling this challenge head-on.

Olena shares how she overcame her mental health challenges and unfamiliarity with UK recruitment processes to find a job in the mental health care sector with the help of Breaking Barriers.

One year on from the appointment of its first Employment Advisors, our Glasgow team has established new connections in the city and has supported 85 clients on their journey to meaningful employment. 

Breaking Barriers is thrilled to announce a transformational programme integration, which will strengthen employment support for refugees in the UK.

We are incredibly proud that our collaboration with Barclays Lifeskills, LinkedIn and Microsoft was named Employer Partnership of the Year at the ERSA awards.

It’s a time of change at Breaking Barriers as we say farewell to James Newell and welcome Alba Chiara Lamberti as the Chair of our Board of Trustees.

We’ve had our best year yet, and a lot of that success is thanks to you - our supporters.

You can help refugees take an important step towards a new career and a new life by donating today.
