Our Mission
At GARAS (Gloucestershire Action
for Refugees and Asylum Seekers)
we offer support to those seeking
asylum in Gloucestershire, welcoming
them when they arrive, advocating
for them in their daily struggles,
supporting them if they face being
sent back as well as helping them
adjust to their long term future
if they are recognised as refugees.

Latest News
Campaign update - 17/2/12:
With relief, we can announce that our client - the Kurdish lady and her two daughters - have been released from detention and are on their way back to Gloucester. The High Court has ruled they must not be removed, whilst their current legal papers are being considered. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has contacted the Home Secretary, MPs and airline on their behalf. If you haven't already opted to join the campaigns list, please consider emailing info@garas.org.uk to do so. It would be great if we never needed to campaign again but that would probably be unlikely given the current climate.
