]]> I came to the UK five years ago after fleeing conflict in my home country of Sudan. Voices in Exile have been supporting me here in Brighton. I go to their English classes, and they have helped me with applying for refugee status, getting a job, and helping me to reunite with my wife. I had to leave her behind in Sudan and I didn’t see her for more than five years. She recently got her visa to come to the UK after Voices provided immigration advice and support and now, finally, she is living here with me.

]]> Clients really develop sustained and trusting relationships with their Voices caseworkers and value the non-judgemental flexibility with which they are supported. The understanding and recognition of the barriers their particular situation presents with is also a relief as they do not have to constantly retell their story.
