Asylum & Refugee Care (AARC) SCIO is a dedicated charity focused on supporting the growing number of refugees and people seeking asylum in North-East Scotland.
To lend a helping hand to those forced to flee their home countries, providing the care and support they need as they start to rebuild their lives. We are dedicated to upholding the human rights and dignity of people seeking asylum and refugees.
What started as a small group of passionate volunteers in 2022 has since evolved into a fully registered charity by 2023. We are entirely volunteer-led and community-driven, based in Aberdeen City Centre.
We meet every new arrival within 24 hours, providing care packs with toiletries, food, and information in their own language.
Weather-appropriate clothing, footwear, toiletries, and non-perishable food items for those who arrive with nothing.
Relaxed English practice with native speakers over coffee, plus structured ESOL classes to develop essential language skills.
Helping with GP and dentist registrations, writing emails to solicitors and the Home Office, and connecting to local services.
Connecting individuals with local diaspora communities and organising cultural exchange events to build friendships and belonging.
Signposting and facilitating access to specialist trauma-informed counselling and mental health services for healing and recovery.
