About JRS

In accordance with the JRS International Charter, JRS-UK accompanies refugees and forced migrants, our brothers and sisters, serving them as companions and advocating their cause in an uncaring world. We have a particular concern for those who are detained under the immigration rules or who are left destitute in the UK. This work is carried out in the spirit of mutual respect, dignity and solidarity with the refugees and forced migrants, and in collaboration with other organisations.

“JRS thrives on hope. Its very existence and mandate to accompany people in
exile are urgently needed signs of hope for those who are among the most dispossessed in the world”
Former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach SJ, 2005
