Support us

Your support brings families together

Every child deserves to grow up safe, surrounded by the people who love them.

But right now, too many are stranded alone and in danger, whether in refugee camps in Europe or in warzones, because they can’t access the legal support needed to reunite with their families.

With your support, our lawyers and social workers can reach more children and help them reach loved ones and a place of safety in Europe.

Noor and Leila’s story

Noor and Leila hadn’t seen their dad in years.

A former police officer, he was targeted by the Taliban and fled to the UK to protect his family, and build a life so his daughters could join him safely. Instead, they were left separated for years, facing uncertainty and fear.

With our support, they were finally reunited last year. Today, Noor and Leila are back in school, making friends. And, most importantly, coming home to their dad every day.

What your gift makes possible

For every £1 you donate, around 87p goes straight to front-line legal and social casework supporting children and their families, youth work, and campaigns:

Expert legal advice and representation to reunite families safely across Europe, fighting for their case from start to finish.

Campaigning and advocacy to change the laws that keep families apart and harm refugees.

Practical and social support to help families navigate life after reunion — including access to housing, education or health.

Training for lawyers and practicionners across Europe, so more children understand and access their rights.

  • 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.
