Asylum and Refugee Care is a charity which offers support to asylum seekers and refugees in the North East of Scotland. We support survivors of human trafficking and exploitation, partnering with other organisations to offer specialist person-centred trauma support. AARC ensures that all New Scots feel welcome and have their basic needs met in order to help them integrate into their new communities. They offer trauma informed, person-centred support. Examples of this are: supporting at medical appointments, helping to convert qualifications in preparation for getting permission to work, and supporting to access ESOL. AARC is led and informed by the experiences and voices of those we support, in order to ensure value for all.
We are entirely volunteer led, and are currently recruiting for volunteers to support us with driving, processing donations, fundraising, general admin, doing school and community group talks and supporting service users to complete paperwork and attend appointments.
