Refugees at Home (RaH) first came to Travers Smith as a group of individuals and has, with our help, become a charitable organisation that connects those with a spare room in their home with asylum seekers and refugees in need of accommodation.
The Travers Smith Foundation was its first cash donor in 2016, and since then, our committed and fantastic team of lawyer and Business Services colleagues have helped provide extensive advice and other assistance critical for the charity’s development and success.
From a standing start in late 2015, with just two or three host families, RaH has grown exponentially. Since it began formally operating in February 2016, RaH has since provided over 195,000 nights of free accommodation to vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers from over 65 different countries. We are incredibly proud to partner with RaH to support their invaluable work with some of the most vulnerable members of our society.
