Welcome

Refugee Voice Wales (RVW) is an umbrella organisation that represents Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) in Wales.

The organisation was established to empower refugees and asylum seekers, creating a platform for the voices of these often vulnerable groups to be heard.

It was formed by a group of Refugee Community Organisation leaders who are committed to and passionate about helping refugees and asylum seekers in Wales.

There are currently 29 RCO members of Refugee Voice Wales.

Refugee Voice Wales is now a constituted organisation. It is involved in several projects and policy groups within Wales, including the All Wales Inclusion Policy, Interpreter and Translators within the Welsh Assembly, Refugee Week, Media Working Group, Progress to Work Centre, Community Development Cymru, and the Refugee & Asylum Seekers Welcome.
