Samphire

Who we are

Samphire is a registered charity, based in Dover, on the south coast of the United Kingdom, England. We are working towards a society which is inclusive and compassionate towards migrants. 

We support people who have been subjected to immigration detention, including hosting a Steering Group of Experts by Experience.

We work with local communities in Dover and Kent to build community cohesion and mutual respect between our diverse communities including running a multi-cultural festival and initiatives run by Roma.

We provide pro bono OISC registered legal advice to Kent residents and also provide advice, services and advocacy to people being held at Napier Barracks.

Samphire is committed to human rights, equality and social justice. Samphire recognises and values the benefits of lived experience expertise in developing policies and services.
