Our story

​

JRAN was set up in June 2020, following a Zoom meeting to discuss the challenges refugees and asylum seekers were facing due to Covid-19.  Since this first meeting we have held multiple online roundtables on topics including mental health, housing, the Afghan resettlement crisis and the current state of the Asylum system. We continue to strive to resource the sector through creating a space for collaboration, shared learning, networking and innovative approaches to complex issues.
