Swansea Asylum Seekers Support

Registered charity number: 1175186
We are a volunteer-led registered charity, run and managed by our members, who include asylum seekers, refugees and other local people - we give a warm welcome to people seeking sanctuary in Swansea through our twice-weekly drop-ins, and offer practical support, educational and recreational opportunities.

What our donation will help fund

The generous £1,000 donation from the Movement for Good Awards will help cover essential core costs that enable Swansea Asylum Seekers Support (SASS) to continue providing vital services to people seeking sanctuary in our community.

Core costs include the day-to-day running of our drop-in sessions, which welcome over 100 people in our community each week. These funds help us pay for venue hire, food, transport support, and the coordination that allows our volunteers and staff to run activities safely and consistently. While these costs are often less visible than direct project expenses, they are fundamental to keeping our services open and accessible.

This support makes a meaningful difference by ensuring we can maintain a safe, welcoming space where people seeking asylum can access practical help, social connection, and community support. The donation helps sustain the foundations of our work, enabling us to continue supporting people who may otherwise feel isolated or without access to essential resources.

Thank you!

We are incredibly grateful to receive this support through the Movement for Good Awards. At Swansea Asylum Seekers Support (SASS), we provide a warm welcome each week to people seeking sanctuary, offering hot meals, English classes, clothing, practical support and signposting to essential services. This grant will make a real difference by helping us cover core costs, so we can continue providing consistent support, friendship and a safe space for people who may otherwise feel isolated and unsupported.
