Safe Passage International is a charity that exists to open and defend safe routes for refugees, and help families torn apart by war and persecution to reunite safely.

We started in 2015, when volunteer lawyers in Calais helped unaccompanied children reunite with their families in the UK. Since then, we’ve grown into a movement spanning the UK, France and Greece, combining legal casework, grassroots campaigning, and political advocacy.

We’ve helped thousands of children and families find safety across Europe, and continue to fight for lasting change so no one has to risk their life to reach protection.

Your donations power everything we do, including:

• Direct legal and social support – providing expert advice, representation and casework so refugees can reunite with family, access their rights, and settle into their new communities.

• Policy change – campaigning and lobbying to challenge unfair rules, build public support for humane immigration policies and create safe, legal routes.

• Youth engagement – training and supporting young refugees to campaign on issues that affect them directly and creating spaces for them to connect, share and speak up.

• Capacity-building – training lawyers, child protection specialists, and frontline practitioners across Europe so more children and families can access family reunion rights.

We keep costs lean: for every £1 you donate, the majority goes directly into frontline casework, campaigning, and training, with only a small amount spent on fundraising and admin to keep our work sustainable.

All donations are processed through trusted, industry-standard payment systems that use the same level of security and encryption as banks. Your personal and financial details are protected by advanced encryption, and we never store or have access to your full payment information.

As a registered charity, we also follow strict UK charity law and financial regulations, so you can donate with confidence knowing your gift is safe and will be put straight to work helping refugees access safety.
