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 and support each step of the way.

Our locations
Where we can help
Our name – Caritas Salford – is reflective of the fact that we’re the domestic social action charity of the Catholic Diocese of Salford.
Our reach though, spans not just Salford, but right across the diocese, taking in most of 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.”
