About us
Who we are
Young Roots is a London-based charity working with young refugees and asylum seekers aged 11-25, most of whom are alone in the UK without their families. We support young people to improve their wellbeing and fulfil their potential, through intensive one-to-one Casework, youth and sporting activities, English language mentoring, youth leadership and access to specialist therapeutic and legal advice.
Your donation today will make such a difference:
- £10 could provide a food voucher for a young refugee who is destitute
- £50 could provide vital 1:1 Casework support and advocacy to young refugees, as they navigate the complex UK legal, social care, education, health, housing and welfare systems
- £150 could provide 2 nights emergency accommodation for a young refugee while our Caseworkers identify longer-term solutions
- £500 could fund a day trip, planned by young refugees, introducing them to new opportunities and experiences
- £1,000 could enable 20 young refugees to access expert Casework support and advocacy at a critical time
Join our team and you'll receive:
- A fundraising guide and resources to answer all your questions and learn more about our work
