Our Christian charity believes that we should “welcome the stranger” and work to help refugees and migrants from all faiths and backgrounds to rebuild their lives in the UK. From providing English lessons to assisting in immigration cases, ICN strives to replace difficulty with dignity.

ICN helps individuals and families who have left everything behind to find a safe place to live. ICN enables refugees and asylum seekers to integrate and settle in the UK by providing them with the skills, support and advice they need when they are confused and vulnerable.
Filling in forms can be complicated if you aren’t an expert or don’t speak English fluently. ICN provides practical advice and support to refugees and asylum seekers within our community.
How can you support yourself and your family if you don’t speak the language? We break down barriers by offering newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers English lessons.
Refugees arrive seeking stability in their lives. ICN gives immigration advice and support through our registered service.
Leaving your friends and family behind can lead to isolation. We’ve created opportunities for women and children to improve their literacy and build a network of friends.
How old were you when you travelled to school on your own? ICN provides safety and support to children seeking asylum alone.
Having a home and a safe place to call your own is important. We have enabled hundreds of families and individuals to rebuild their lives in Dorset.
You can make a positive impact on the lives of refugees too. Whether you make regular donations, volunteer, rent them a home or give a young person a roof over their head, every action makes a difference.
