Our mission, aims and values
Our Mission
Asylum Aid is an independent, national charity working to secure protection for people seeking refuge in the UK from persecution and human rights abuses abroad.
Our Aims
- To provide free and accessible legal representation of the highest professional standard, to the most vulnerable and excluded asylum seekers;
- To campaign vigorously for an asylum process based on inviolable human rights principles, ensuring that what we say is firmly rooted in the work we do;
- To work co-operatively with our peers in the asylum and refugee movement, combining with them to strengthen our impact;
- To sustain a stable, independent and purposeful organisation for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
Our Values
- We believe that human rights are unconditional and that our commitment to promoting equality and justice should govern and inform every aspect of our work.
- We believe that only by striving to meet the highest standards will the quality and integrity of our work be maintained.
- We believe in working collaboratively to advance our aims and in ensuring that refugees are enabled to influence the direction and perspectives of the organisation.
- We believe in the value of providing fair and flexible working conditions for all our staff and volunteers.
