Thank you for urging UK CEOs to take action for refugees

By adding your name to the open letter, you’re sending a powerful message: refugees deserve the chance to bring their skills, talents and experience into UK businesses and build a new life. You’re showing those who’ve faced the unimaginable that you want our workplaces to welcome them in.

Could you do one more thing?

Refugees face huge barriers to employment in the UK. From learning a new language, to understanding a different working world and even overcoming discrimination.

Breaking Barriers exists so they don’t have to face these challenges alone. We offer one-to-one advice, training, education and workplace opportunities to help refugees find meaningful employment. But we can’t do this without people like you.

Could you help refugees to build new lives with a donation today?

  • £10 could help pay for a one-to-one CV-writing session between a Breaking Barriers Advisor and a refugee.
  • £10 a month could help pay for phones for our Employment Team, so refugees have a direct line to our advice and guidance.
  • £20 could help cover the cost of a university application for a refugee who wants to continue their education in the UK.
  • £20 a month could help cover the travel costs for refugees who want to attend training days with our corporate partners.
  • £50 could help pay for the Occupational English Test that will help a refugee nurse restart their career in the UK.
  • £50 a month could help cover our office rent so we have a safe, welcoming space where we can offer refugees support.
