Refugee and migration

Gateshead Council has welcomed refugees who have fled their home country due to conflict and instability since 2015. 

Gateshead Council has a dedicated Refugee & Migration Team based within the Housing Support Service which includes Refugee Resettlement Support Workers who provide housing advice and integration support to refugees who have entered the UK via a Government approved Refugee Resettlement Scheme.

In addition to this, we work with a range of Voluntary Sector Organisations across the borough who provide advice to the asylum, refugee and migration community.
