Welcome to New Citizens' Gateway
Supporting refugees and asylum seekers as an independent charity since 2005
Bridging Communities
We provide support for refugees and asylum seekers across London & beyond. Our name reflects our core vision – to empower refugees to integrate into British life and culture as valued members of society. We envision a compassionate asylum process that treats individuals with the dignity and respect they deserve.
New Citizens' Gateway aims to accomplish using our holistic model to integrate refugees and asylum seekers into a new society. We use a multifaceted approach, including: advice & information, wellbeing services, and so much more to some of those most vulnerable.
A Holistic Approach to Empowering Refugees
New Citizens' Gateway believes in providing comprehensive support that address the unique, multifaceted needs. Our research based “Integrated Holistic Model of Support” is devised by our CEO as part of her Doctorate program in Psychotherapy (2014). This model was developed on Abraham Maslow's five stage model of Hierarchy of Basic Human Needs which aims to acknowledge the whole person and all their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs.

A funder asked us if your charity was something that could fly, what would it be and why? We said:
"Our clients live in a hostile environment, our cause is the least popular, and our team deals with hate mail. But we keep going, believing strongly in humanity so if we could fly, we would be a phoenix, we would rise from ashes with every setback and represent renewal, optimism, and resilience.
Like the legendary bird, our charity represents the capacity for transformation and victory over obstacles. It's flight symbolises the liberation and possibilities it offers to those escaping persecution and seeking sanctuary.
It transcends borders, extending a lifeline to the vulnerable and guiding them toward safety, security, and a brighter tomorrow. Just as wings carry the distressed to safety, our charity serves as a beacon of hope, empathy, and unity for vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers."
