We’re delighted that Newcastle City Council has reaffirmed Newcastle’s commitment as a City of Sanctuary

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our colleague Tarik Alali, who received the Rising Star Award at the North East Charity Awards!

We’re looking for two people to join our team and help refugees and people seeking asylum build connections, access opportunities and participate in their communities.

From applying for a job to opening a bank account, accessing healthcare or keeping in touch with family, so much of everyday life now happens online.

We had a fantastic employability session with Ingeus last week, focusing on the Equality Act and the LGBTQIA+ community.

From digital inclusion and neighbourhood regeneration to community safety and belonging, we are working with partners across different sectors to ensure the experiences, challenges and ambitions of refugees and people seeking asylum are heard and reflected in decisions that affect their lives.

WERS is proud to join more than 200 organisations supporting a practical new blueprint for an asylum system built on dignity, evidence and common sense.
