New Citizens' Gateway

Who we are

New Citizen's Gateway (registered as Barnet Refugee Service) is an independent registered charity working in partnership with individuals and agencies to improve the quality of life and promote the physical, social and mental well-being of refugees and asylum seekers in London, helping to reduce health inequalities, social exclusion and poverty and enabling positive integration. At the core of our service delivery is our belief in the positive contribution refugees and asylum seekers can make within our culturally and ethnically diverse society. Through our Holistic Model of Support, we aim to support this client group to rebuild their lives and make a positive contribution to the community. We try to achieve this through various activities such as advice and guidance, ESOL classes, volunteering and employment, mentoring, counselling service, gardening,  women's group, youth activities, psycho-social activities, emotional support and more.
