HIAS+JCORE

Who we are

HIAS+JCORE is the leading UK Jewish response to refuge and asylum. Led by our Jewish values and history of compassion, responsibility, solidarity, and partnership, we empower displaced people to flourish as they rebuild their lives here.

We work in three key ways: advocating, mobilising, and supporting. Firstly, our team lobbies politicians and policy makers, sharing our Jewish-values led vision for a fairer, more welcoming asylum system, and ensures better, more compassionate narratives are heard in the press. Secondly, we lead a bold Jewish movement for refugees, through projects like Refugee Shabbat and our Student Refugee Ambassador Programme. Thirdly, we directly support refugees and people seeking asylum, overcoming challenges together and empowering them to thrive.
