International Care Network


ICN supports refugees and asylum seekers in the Bournemouth area.

Many come having escaped injustice, violence and danger in their country of origin, as well as on the journey to the UK.

ICN aims to provide a warm welcome for members of this refugee community, who often feel left out in the cold. We help them overcome obstacles to becoming secure, settled, empowered and contributing members of society. We help by providing advice, support, community engagement and education - facilitating greater personal stability, independence, and ultimately wider community cohesion. .
We help refugees through advice, support, community engagement and education. This facilitates greater personal stability, independence, and ultimately wider community cohesion.

Our main focus and work is with those with nowhere else to turn. On a daily basis we experience the challenges of helping people in desperate situations, as well as with more ordinary day-to-day needs. We find we often receive more than we give, through the wealth of cultures, backgrounds and experiences represented in those we serve.
