What people say about us


Before I came to ARC I was ​tired and bored. Now I feel ​happier, fresher, more energy ​and feeling good I can help ​other people. I feel more ​confident and I can manage my ​life much better. I can make ​people understand what I need ​in other offices.”

“Before ARC helped me I ​had no papers but now I ​have status. Universal ​credit account, forms for ​child benefit. I feel ​comfortable and I feel ​independent.”

“A safe space where people are ​understood, accepted and ​welcomed – there are

very few places like that. They ​can get specific support relevant ​to their needs.

They meet other people who ​have gone through similar, they ​can share survival

stories and learn new skills.”
