WHAT WE DO

Practical support for learning, work and everyday life

URP works alongside refugees and migrants with practical, person-centred support across education and skills, employment, and digital and community navigation. We start with what matters to you and help connect the support, information and opportunities you need.

How support works

Support is practical, respectful and shaped around your goals. You do not need to know the right service before contacting us.

1. Tell us what you need

Tell us what you are trying to achieve or what is getting in the way.

2. We listen and understand

We listen to your situation, priorities, strengths and choices.

3. Agree the next step

Together we identify practical support, information, referrals or opportunities.

4. Keep moving forward

We help you build confidence, skills and connections for the next step.

Family & school navigation

Help with school communication, education systems and practical steps that can otherwise become barriers for families.

Opportunity signposting

We help identify relevant courses, training, employment opportunities and other support, and refer on where specialist help is needed.

Connected support

We work with community organisations, education providers, employers and services so people are not left to navigate support alone.

Not sure where to start?
