About KRH

Kent Refugee Help supports refugees and migrants held in London and Kent prisons. We help people access legal advice and representation to fight their case and stand with them throughout. After release we continue to help in other ways – signposting to services in the area where they are living, supporting them and providing small cash sums for emergencies. We offer telephone legal advice for immigration via an advice line, which is open two days a week, and also one to one immigration legal advice either by visiting the prison or by video link. We are regulated to give immigration legal advice and representation by the OISC. Please see our leaflet here.

Our support continues after release if requested. We welcome the involvement of refugees and migrants in our organisation; their ideas and experiences are crucial to informing and developing our policy.

For more information or to make a referral email: [email protected]. A referral form will be provided.

Please also contact us if you are interested in volunteering, donating money or have an interest in refugee rights.

Seventy years after the adoption of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UK is guilty of undermining the very principles of asylum, inhumanely detaining those seeking protection and ushering in sweeping changes that threaten to punish refugees at every turn.

But the UK’s immigration system is not alone in committing such breaches of human rights. The fourth volume of Refugee Tales explores our present international environment, combining author re-tellings with first-hand accounts of individuals who have been detained across the world.

As the coronavirus pandemic defies borders – leaving those who are detained even more vulnerable – this collection shares stories spanning Canada, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK, and calls for international insistence on a future without detention.

Featuring a prologue by Baroness Shami Chakrabarti.
