Support for refugees, people seeking asylum and vulnerable migrants

Our Liverpool helps vulnerable migrants, people seeking asylum and those with refugee status.

We help them:

  • get the support they are entitled to when they live in Liverpool
  • live independent and healthy lives
  • contribute their skills to Liverpool

What do we do?

We help with the following:

  • Education: We help people understand how the education system in Liverpool works and what learning opportunities are on offer for school-aged children. We get school-aged children into a classroom as fast as possible, and work with schools and other organisations to make this happen.

  • Community development: Our team links people in need up with all the support services they are entitled to. Our aim is to empower individuals and help them make informed decisions.

  • Employment: Liverpool in Work helps refugees find a job, get work experience or find an opportunity to volunteer or study.

  • Wellbeing: We provide information that helps people access opportunities to improve their health and wellbeing.

  • Learning English: Our adult learning service offers English classes for people with refugee status or asylum seekers who have waited over six months for a decision. We also offer information about other English language training providers across Liverpool City Region.
