Description: Revive is an independent community initiative that provides free practical support services to refugees and people seeking asylum - regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age or beliefs. Refugees and asylum seekers are some of the UK’s most disadvantaged groups, due to their immigration status which presents significant barriers in accessing public services that can cause them to be locked out of opportunities others benefit from.

Our vision is to provide a wide range of free high-quality services and advocacy for refugees and people seeking asylum to help their journey of recovery and growth.

The Revive project was established in 2002 as a social justice project of the (The Spiritans) with registration number (Charity Registration: 227350). With effect from 30 June 2019, in accordance with a legal transfer of undertakings and a resolution of the trustees, the activities of the Revive project of The Spiritans were transferred to Revive CIO, with charity registration number 1183006.
