A Community Standing Together for the Rights and Protection of Young Refugees
Get Help: Our Services
Global Social Club (GSC)
Global Social Club (GSC) meets every Monday. Our team welcome young people aged 14-25 from Sussex and around the world.
We’re based at the BMECP Centre in central Brighton. GSC is delivered in partnership with the Refugee Council and Pathways to Independence.
Young Leaders
Our Young Leaders programme is a 20 week programme where young people from refugee backgrounds can develop skills in public speaking, communication, leadership, advocacy and politics. Our young leaders have gone on to speak in parliament, run their own businesses and even do Ted Talks!
Young Women's Group
A brand new service, providing a warm and welcoming space for young women to connect, build community, learn new skills and gain confidence.
Thursdays from 4pm to 6pm
Learning Space
Hummingbird Learning Space offers 1-2-1 tution and a weekly drop in educational and language support session with qualified teachers.
It has fast become one of the most successful outcomes of GSC’s youth-led approach, created in direct response to requests of our young members.

'Be Well, Be Heard'
Specialist 1:1 Support
We offer specialist support to young refugees who may have experienced trauma and/or have significant difficulties in their life.
Our 1:1 work focusses on supporting young people to be well and be heard. We offer vital support to young people experiencing issues, including complex trauma and delayed or failed asylum cases, working in partnership with other professionals with a multi agency approach. We work with young people on the issues affecting their wellbeing and connect them to appropriate specialist services.
Coming soon: Clinical Psychology Service
in collaboration with the Helen Bamber Foundation.
We are really excited to be launching a new service in collaboration with the Helen Bamber Foundation, providing trauma-specialist assessment and support to young people with mental health needs. We know many young people struggle to successfully access or successfully engage and benefit from mainstream statutory mental health services, so we are hoping to break down the barrier to accessing appropriate and specialist support with experienced clinicians.
Campaigning & Advocacy
We actively campaign for the rights & protection of refugees. We have led significant local, national & international campaigns and continue to lobby for change!
