About Herts Welcomes Refugees
Herts Welcomes Refugees provides a range of assistance and support to refugees and asylum seekers across the county to complement that provided by local councils and the Refugee Council's Hertfordshire Resettlement Project. We also help some refugees and asylum seekers who are not supported by either the Refugee Council or local councils.
