Refugee Futures works with partners in Stockton-on-Tees to ensure local opportunities are accessible to refugees and people seeking asylum, and that they are able to maximise their abilities and connect with and feel included in the local community. Ultimately, we hope more people will opt to remain in Stockton once their status is secured.

We are a relatively new charity with a board of six trustees which leads the governance of the organisation, chaired by Peter Chapman and supported by the executive director, Heather Petch, OBE and a small, committed team of staff and volunteers.
