Overview
Breaking Barriers supports refugees to rebuild their lives and integrate into UK society by providing personalised employment support and mentorship, language classes, and other workshops to develop professional skills. Through collaborations with businesses, they create job opportunities and aim to alter the narrative around refugees in the UK.They have been successful in growing corporate partnerships through their Business Behind Refugees movement, and their leadership team hopes to continue this success in a new strategy introduced after Founding CEO Matthew Powell stepped back in 2023. Their detailed impact framework has shown increases in positive outcomes for refugees as they have grown, and their rapid increase in delivery numbers is owed to their expansions outside London in the last few years.
