Refugees & people seeking asylum
For people to live free from discrimination, it is vital to encourage communities to heighten their awareness of the barriers people face and to treat all people with compassion and dignity.
We offer a range of services to support people from a refugee background, whether to settle them in the UK or to help them to become embedded in their local community, we’re here to help each step of the way.
1,300
hours of teaching were delivered by our Aspire team last year. They support people from a refugee background by providing English classes, mentoring and other services.
12
adults and 15 children were supported to settle in the UK by community sponsorship volunteers last year too.
1000s
of other refugees and people seeking asylum were also supported across our wide range of Caritas services last year.
People from a refugee background and those seeking asylum are welcome at all of our services and we also work alongside them in the local community in a wide range of different ways.

Where we can help
This map shows just some of the communities in Greater Manchester and Lancashire where our teams work to support local people…
Our name – Caritas Salford – is reflective of the fact that we’re the charity of the Catholic Diocese of Salford.
Our reach though, spans not just Salford, but right across Greater Manchester and parts of Lancashire too.
We’re really proud to be able to work in the heart of communities across our area.
If you’d like to connect with us, get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
“We saw it as an end to suffering and poverty by coming to a country that was safe. When I go to bed at night, I now know my children are safe – and that was our purpose.”
