We were delighted to co-host the first Kent Solidarity Regional Conference in April 2026. With partners Right to Remain (and supported by Act Build Change), the day’s theme of Courage, Solidarity and Action was explored by more than 70 delegates.

Welcome to the KRAN family

We work with separated young refugees and asylum seekers, also known as UASC (Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children). These are young people aged 16 to 26 who have arrived in Kent alone and are claiming asylum. We provide them with a safe, positive space and support them to succeed.

How we help

We offer a range of activities for young people

Our aim is to support young people to look after themselves well and to work with local education providers to ensure them a place in statutory education as soon as possible. We also run a mentoring project which links young people with volunteers in the community, along with an advocacy project to help them resolve any problems they might run into.

Learning for Life

This education programme for young asylum seekers is the only one of its kind in the UK. We have a proven track record of providing our young people with the skills they need to gain entry to college.
Advocacy and support

We know that starting a life in a new country can come with many hurdles. Young refugees may experience isolation, legal/immigration issues and uncertainty about their future. Our Advocacy and Support team is here to listen, support and alleviate some of these challenges while you settle into the UK. We run various projects, including mentoring, wellbeing activities, youth clubs and casework.
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA?

At KRAN we are always open to new ideas and suggestions as to how people can get involved and support our work. Please don’t hesitate to contact our CEO Razia (razia@kran.org.uk) and let her know of ways you can help - either individually or through your organisation. For example, you may be able to offer a placement opportunity or apprenticeship to one of our young people, or in-kind support in an area you have skills and expertise in (perhaps as a one-off masterclass).
