United to Assist Refugees UK

Our motto, our passion: Community, Humanity, Solidarity

Registered charity number 1169738 since October 2016.

A Wrexham based, grassroots humanitarian movement dedicated to helping refugees and those fleeing war and persecution.

Since the beginning we have raised over £300,000 plus taken in over £500,000 worth of aid (new and second hand). Aswell as more recently receiving grants and corporate support to help us help those who have been through loss, trauma, fear, persecution and lost their homes and communities.

We are currently creating a full list of all our projects during the last 8 years when we started life as a community group sending aid to Greece to help Syrian Refugees. Since then we have fed tens of thousands of refugees, funded surgery for injured children, rebuilt the children’s wing of Sinjar Hospital, Iraq with Sally Becker after the ISIS genocide, flown children out of countries for surgery, paid for evacuation buses in Ukraine and sent Medical Aid.

In 2022 we opened our long awaited Refugee Hub here in North Wales, that we all call ‘HOME’ which now supports over 300 people (including many many children) including a Ukrainian hub where many Ukrainians come daily.

We have: The 3 storey ‘HOME’ refugee hub, our new community Garden ‘Gardd Heddwch’ which means Peace Garden in Welsh, our aid unit where we take donations for the Hub and Ukraine. We have ESOL lessons each week in partnership with Family Friends, a new music and singing project in partnership with New Sinfonia Orchestra ad we work with many organisations and other refugee charities across North Wales to support each other for the one common goal. All children should feel they matter, people should have access to things that bring joy aswell as basic needs. We are more sort of humanity driven than service drive, you could say that is our niche, that was the gap and we filled it. Create, Communicate, never replicate! Wrexham has some great services and support out there and we are proud to play our part whilst acknowledging the vast experience and support base out there!
