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.”
