Refugees and asylum seekers are being left out of being active

Uniting the Movement focuses on the inequalities that stop people being active. Safe Pass supports one of the most socially isolated groups in the country, people rebuilding life in a new place, with a structured, welcoming route into regular activity and community connection.

 

What Safe Pass delivers in your place

Safe Pass is an “instant programme” your Place Partnership can activate quickly — with a national framework that stays consistent, but is delivered and adapted locally.

  • Inclusive weekly football + wellbeing sessions

  • Safe, stable community spaces

  • Soft skills + English confidence

  • Pathways into local organisations, volunteering and jobs

  • Built to scale through an established partner network
