Refugees and asylum seekers are among the most vulnerable people in our society today. These people have fled their countries of origin due to fear of war, torture or persecution. They have often also suffered great hardships in their journey to the UK. The circumstances of these people arriving into the UK can lead to them being socially excluded due to poverty, mental health problems, lack of knowledge of British ways and lack of English. New Citizens’ Gateway helps refugees and asylum seekers deal with the very challenging circumstances that they find themselves in. We seek to help these people to recover from their often traumatic experiences and to start rebuilding their lives in the UK. New Citizens’ Gateway is the working name of Barnet Refugee Service which is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee.
