About the initiative
The Fund for Refugee and Asylum Seeker Young People ran from 2003 to 2009, supporting projects and activities that encouraged the integration of 11-18 year olds within host communities, built capacity within the organisations that represent these young people and supported the development of best practice wherever possible.
The initiative awarded £3.3m in grants to 69 organisations across the UK. Twenty-eight were refugee community organisations and the remainder worked in partnership with RCOs.
