Refuweegee is a community-led charity offering a warm welcome to those newly arriving in Scotland. Our mission is to ensure people forced to flee their homes feel embraced and supported as they settle here.
Each month, we create and deliver over 120 community-built welcome packs for refugees arriving in Scotland. These include practical items like shampoo and toothpaste, Scottish treats such as tea cakes, Irn-Bru, and shortbread, and, most importantly, #lettersfaethelocals – personal messages from local residents to make the recipient feel truly welcomed.
Beyond welcome packs, we now host community events, organise days out, collect and distribute buggies and prams, and run fortnightly free clothing pop-ups.
