We’ve launched a new Asylum Information Guide for people seeking safety in Scotland. It covers each step of the process, rights, refusals and support when appeal rights are exhausted. Available in 21 languages. Read it here 👉scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/asylum-information-guide/

Ready to go the extra mile in support of those seeking safety in Scotland? 🏃‍♀️ Join us for the Great Scottish Run on 5th October! Take on a 10k or half marathon through Glasgow – including the infamous St. Vincent Street hill – to raise vital funds for refugees & asylum seekers. 🏃 shorturl.at/xVFha

We stand in solidarity with people seeking safety and against acts of violence and intimidation taking place in parts of the country. Times are tough but people fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for Scotland’s problems. Everyone deserves to be safe and feel like they belong.
