Our Work

ICN’s Charitable Objectives

The object of ICN, as registered with the Charity Commission, is: “the advancement of education and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress among asylum seekers and refugees.”


Who we help

We are here to serve refugees and asylum seekers and their dependents. At times we are able to help other vulnerable people with similar needs, but this is purely at our own discretion.
We do not help with student visas or work visas.

Involving Refugees

ICN seeks to involve refugees in shaping and delivering our service, including at trustee level. We have a range of consultation mechanisms and have held events in partnership with refugee community groups.

Interpreters: For the most part people learn English very quickly, or come to us with a friend to translate. Where this is not appropriate, for example where a story is very complex or sensitive, we have access to interpreters of both sexes for most refugee languages

I am no longer drinking – I am working. Without your friendship this would not have been possible.
