Refugees are often seen as a burden on society, but they can also be a source of strength and support. This is especially true in the case of the Cambridge Asylum and Refugee Network (CARN),a volunteer-run organisation that provides practical and emotional support to refugees and asylum seekers in the Cambridge area.

CARN was founded in 1993 by a group of local people who were concerned about the plight of refugees in the UK. The organisation has grown steadily over the years, and now provides a wide range of services to refugees and asylum seekers, including:

Advice and support on asylum applications
English language classes
Help with finding housing and employment
Counselling and befriending services
Advocacy and representation

CARN's work is vital in helping refugees and asylum seekers to rebuild their lives in the UK. The organisation provides a safe and supportive environment where refugees can access the help and support they need to integrate into British society.

One of the most important things that CARN does is to provide refugees with a sense of community. Many refugees have fled their homes and lost everything they own. They often arrive in the UK feeling isolated and alone. CARN provides a welcoming and supportive environment where refugees can meet other people who have been through similar experiences. The organisation also organises social events and activities that help refugees to feel connected to their new community.

CARN also plays an important role in advocating for the rights of refugees. The organisation works to raise awareness of the plight of refugees and to challenge the negative stereotypes that often surround them. CARN also works with local and national government to ensure that refugees have access to the support and services they need.
