Breaking Barriers is bringing together a network of partners and funders to enable access to employment for refugees and to develop a sustainable presence in new locations.

What we’re funding: The project was founded in response to lack of effective and comprehensive support enabling refugees to access to stable and meaningful employment in the UK. It will bring together a network of partners and funders to build a sustainable presence in new locations, and to create a regional hub in the North West.

Why we’re funding: Breaking Barriers has developed a model that effectively meets refugees’ employment needs within a range of local contexts and networks. We have been consistently impressed by their knowledge of the refugee sector and focus on building a strong evidence base for their work. We recognise the need for this model across the country.
