Bradford Refugee Forum

Bradford Refugee Forum supports refugees and refugee organisations across the Bradford district.

We are an umbrella organisation for refugee communities and individuals living in the city of Bradford. This forum was founded in 2005 with the aim of creating a platform for refugees and asylum seekers to share their experiences and challenges and also to speak with one voice on issues affecting their lives.

BRF raises awareness on issues affecting refugee and asylum seekers, helping them to integrate into the UK way of life. It provides a link to the service providers which can improve the lives of the refugee communities, for example health, housing, education, employment and police. It also helps refugees to access training and skills that will enable them to run their own communities meaningfully. BRF also to ensures that refugee communities preserve their cultures by facilitating cultural activities.
