One World Together for Refugees
Behind every refugee is a person – a parent, a child, a student – who has fled their home in search of safety.
ForRefugees connects your compassion to their powerful stories, ensuring your support provides not just aid, but dignity and hope.
ForRefugees transforms lives, using your donations where they are most needed and working with a trusted network of frontline charity partners. Together, we ensure displaced people across Europe receive vital support, and the chance for a brighter future.
With hundreds of thousands of displaced people in need of help it can feel overwhelming. Maybe you don’t know how you can make a difference? Because we understand what’s happening on the ground and are connected with expert grassroots charities, forRefugees ensures your donations are directed where they’ll make the biggest impact, so no penny is wasted.

“Project Play is a grassroots organisation that aims to provide safe spaces for displaced children in northern France … It is not an exaggeration to say that without forRefugees, Project Play would not have survived as an organisation.””

Immediate relief, lasting change
ForRefugees is a UK charity (registered in England and Wales number 1168435) dedicated to helping humanitarian aid and targeted support be available to refugees when governments and large NGOs in Europe fail them. Through our on the ground partners, we ensure that refugees – men, women and children in urgent need – can access essential services, saving lives and laying the foundations for long-term recovery.
We raise ongoing funds to support projects that meet immediate needs, including food, clean water and shelter. We further help ensure particularly vulnerable individuals can access vital services including refuge, medical care, and legal support. In addition, we invest in education, community centres, and sports programmes understanding the importance of helping refugees rebuild resilience and begin healing from their trauma ready to start their new lives in a new country.
