Refugee Support

Our UK project, the Bournemouth Dignity Centre, supports refugees and people seeking asylum living in and around the conurbation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP).

About the Bournemouth Dignity Centre

Since opening its doors in November 2023, the Bournemouth Dignity Centre has become a lifeline for refugees and people seeking asylum on the UK’s south coast. With the growing number of people arriving in Bournemouth and surrounding areas, the Centre provides a vital space of welcome, where members can access essential services, connect with the local community and find a sense of belonging during one of the most challenging times of their lives.

While new arrivals can select a Welcome Pack of weather appropriate clothing and hygiene items from our ‘free shop,’ many of our members also use the space as much-needed respite from their cramped, isolating hotel accommodation.
