What we do
We’re a small ‘n’ mighty UK-based NGO that lives to help our war-torn brothers and sisters around the globe. At your service: frontline evacuations, humanitarian aid, and self-reliance for refugees.

Frontline Evacuations
Transporting the most vulnerable individuals to safer areas, away from conflict zones.
Humanitarian Aid
Responding in real-time by serving refugees in transit by providing life-saving aid purchased locally to where it is distributed.
Self-Reliance
Offering child refugees an education they can build a future on, and up-skilling adult refugees (in the UK and abroad) into employment.
Emergency Evacuations
Since the war in Ukraine escalated in February 2022, we have been evacuating individuals with reduced mobility, who are unable to flee unassisted due to age, disabilities, and illnesses, from towns and villages where the conflict is at its most precarious.
Online Aid Shop
Our online aid shop allows you to purchase most needed items for refugees in need. Add your chosen items to your basket and checkout just like you would any other e-commerce store. We employ refugees as local distributors, who buy the items locally.
Zaa’tari Kids Village
We work closely with our partners at Acting For Change International to run an education centre for refugee children in Zaa’tari Village, Jordan. Our focus is on opening the primary school full-time, and building permanent structures.
Crisis Awareness
We visit schools, workplaces and organisations up and down the country to educate people about the refugee crisis. Our interactive presentations suit every setting, age group and ensure sensitivity to every belief system. Please get in touch for more information.
Vintage Emporiums
We now have several Vintage Emporium shops in Kent, Sussex and Norfolk. All of the items in our stores are kindly donated and the proceeds go directly to supporting our projects for refugees.
Furniture Collections & House Clearances
We can come to your house to collect furniture or arrange an entire house clearance free of charge. All of the items we pick up will be sold in one of our shops or online and the profit goes to supporting Refugease projects.
Aid Deliveries
In October 2015 we took our first aid delivery out to the Balkans. Since then we’ve collected and delivered aid to countless places including Greece, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Recently, they’ve become a bit more tricky to arrange and we’ve shifted our focus towards providing aid via our online aid shop instead.
Make a donation.
With your donations, we were able to buy land in Zaa’tari village in Jordan. The Education Centre now has a future. Will you help us build permanent structures?
