Refugee Survival Trust provides refugees and asylum seekers living in Scotland with practical support when they most need it. It provides emergency cash grants, help with travel costs and assistance to cover the cost of fees and equipment for those entering adult education or looking for work. RST also provides temporary accommodation to people in the asylum process who become homeless.

“Christmas and New Year can be difficult for refugee families, as many are separated from their loved ones and feel very lonely and isolated. The winter months can be difficult for families who are not used to our cold climate and cannot afford to buy winter clothing for the children. Donations have allowed us to provide “Winter Warmer” supermarket vouchers to refugee families so they could buy clothing and extra food over the festive period

“We would like to thank Celtic FC Foundation and everyone who has donated to the Appeal for supporting our work.”
