About us
Negative stereotypes and broken systems in the UK mean that 75% of refugees and migrants have no opportunities beyond low-paid, entry-level employment. ACH aims to redefine, recentre and rebuild this process to end the cycle of poverty.
ACH was founded in Bristol in 2008 to provide supported housing to refugees who had recently received their five years leave to remain. However, providing shelter without any route to independence simply ‘warehouses’ refugees. That’s why training and business support has always been at the heart of ACH.
Our vision is to empower refugees and migrants who reside in the UK to lead self-sufficient and ambitious lives. We believe that increased access to support, training and education creates spaces and opportunities for people to thrive.
We have a track record of delivering effective support services that give refugees and migrants the tools they need to succeed. Our tailored and agile approach allows us to respond to unexpected global challenges by engaging with new communities and their different needs. In 2023 alone, we have helped 1800+ people to achieve their personal goals and lead fulfilling lives in their new country.
Join us in supporting refugees and migrants to build a better, brighter future.
