Slough Refugee Support is committed to helping asylum seekers and refugees in Slough and neighbouring areas to be safe, mentally and physically healthy, to achieve their rights and to settle with dignity in a new community. We do this by delivering immigration advice, assisting with access to public services, by giving 'outreach' support to refugee families, and through a range of other services.
