Refuweegee — Local services in Great Britain

There are times in life when darkness surrounds you, when you feel invisible, hopeless, and alone. I found myself in that place — homeless, lost, and without direction. And then I met Hannah.

She wasn’t just working at a refugee center. She was the warmth in a cold world, the steady voice in chaos, and the comfort I didn’t know I needed. Hannah treated me not as a number, but as a human being — with kindness, dignity, and care.

They are a lifeline and they represent people power & the very best of what our society can be. Care &...

This charity does invaluable service and they do it brilliantly. They understand the needs of newly arrived refugees to establish and feel safe. They equally importantly work with the psychology of the west of Scotland and it's traditions of welcome and hospitality. They don't just replace personal items and requisites lost in transit but embue their work with empathy through 'lettters frae a local', advice and support. If you need more than their social media to understand what they achieve look at Instagram artist #elsuenoamericanoproject @tomkiefer.photographer to see what refugees typically lose or are stripped of. I know it's an American example but it makes one think about how important...
