West End Refugee Service

West End Refugee Service is a registered charity supporting asylum seekers and refugees in the North East of England. Our range of integrated services aim to tackle disadvantage, poverty, discrimination and isolation experienced by those we support. Our services include advocacy and advice via drop-ins and outreach work, a hardship fund for destitute asylum seekers, practical support for those experiencing poverty, a befriending project, a supported volunteer project for clients and an awareness raising programme. WERS aims to empower men and women, whose futures have been irrevocably changed by past events in their home country, to regain control of their lives and fulfil their potential.
