Asylum And Refugee Care Ltd
Charity 1140459
Overview
Summary
Asylum And Refugee Care Ltd appears to be a broad-based settlement and support organisation for people affected by the asylum and refugee system. Its stated role combines immediate hardship relief with education, advice and social inclusion, suggesting an approach that spans practical support and longer-term participation in community life. However, the available evidence gives little visibility of its actual delivery model, scale, locality or partnerships, and its inactive website limits confidence about its current public-facing capacity.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- Direct evidence: the Charity Commission record identifies Birmingham City as the charity's area of operation and describes community support, after-school tuition and adult education. This supports a Birmingham-wide declared footprint, but does not identify current delivery locations within the city.
- Reasonable interpretation: the organisation's operational identity is best recorded as citywide because Birmingham City is its current declared operating area, rather than inferred from its charitable objects alone.
- Current delivery is uncertain. The latest published charity financial data, for the year ended 31 March 2024, records £0 income and £0 expenditure; the subsequent annual return and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 are overdue.
- The current contact and registered-office address is in Birmingham, but the available evidence does not demonstrate that it is a current service-delivery site rather than an administrative or correspondence address.
- Historic regulator records do not establish current operations: Ofsted lists the ARC Afterschool Club at the contact address as closed, and CQC records for a service at the site are archived.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report, annual return or impact report specifying services delivered, participant numbers and delivery venues during or after the year ended 31 March 2025.
- Current programme information from the organisation confirming whether community support, tuition or adult education is presently delivered, and at which Birmingham venues.
- Confirmation from the organisation of whether its contact address is an active operational base, rather than only its registered or contact address.
- Evidence of any current delivery partners or commissioned services that materially extend the organisation's reach beyond its contact address.

Observations
A bridge between immediate need and longer-term belonging
The organisation appears to frame refugee support as more than crisis relief: education, training and inclusion are positioned alongside poverty prevention. This may indicate a model intended to help people establish durable participation in a new community.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from a service focused solely on emergency aid and suggests potential complementarity with groups offering specialist housing, employment or legal support.

“Its objects include relief of hardship, education and training, and promotion of social inclusion for people seeking asylum, refugees, and their families and dependants.”

Potentially intergenerational rather than narrowly client-specific
After-school tuition alongside adult education suggests the organisation may work across generations within refugee and asylum-seeking households, rather than treating settlement needs as belonging only to individual adults.
Why it matters
An intergenerational approach could make the organisation a useful connector between family support, educational providers and community integration initiatives.

A notably broad formal remit may obscure its practical focus
The listed charitable activities extend far beyond the refugee-focused objects, including housing, religion, arts, sport, environment and employment. This may reflect a deliberately holistic vision, but it may also indicate that formal classifications are not a reliable guide to current priorities.
Why it matters
Understanding the gap, if any, between registered remit and active work is important for identifying realistic partnerships and avoiding assumptions about capability.

- Whether the organisation is currently delivering services, and at what scale.
- Its geographic area, beneficiary profile, referral routes and partner relationships.
- Whether the broad listed charitable activities represent active programmes or registration categories.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual report, accounts or activity report showing current services, reach and outcomes.
- Details of programmes, locations, staff or volunteers, and partnerships with schools, refugee services or local authorities.
- A functioning website or other current public communications describing priorities and contact routes.
