Organisation description: Breaking Barriers supports refugees to move into meaningful employment, education and volunteering, helping people build stability and confidence in their new communities. We work with individuals who face real barriers to work, including language challenges, limited UK work experience, financial and digital exclusion, and a lack of professional networks or UK work experience.
Our support is practical, personalised and delivered by trained advisers. We offer one-to-one employment guidance, group-based employability activities such as in-person job clubs, specialist language support, and tailored employment pathways developed with inclusive employers.
We work closely with local authorities, housing providers, employers and community organisations to make sure our support is joined-up, relevant and responsive to local need. Our focus is on building confidence, skills and long-term participation in local communities, so people are supported not just into work, but into a sense of belonging.
