The Guardian and Observer charity appeal in support of refugee and asylum seekers has received more than 350,000 in donations from generous readers in less than a week since it launched.

The 2023 appeal is raising money for three charities - Refugee Councils of Britain, Refugees at Home, and Naccom - that support homeless and destitute asylum seekers and refugees and campaign for a fairer and more humane treatment of people arriving in the UK after fleeing war and persecution.

Donations can be made online by credit card, debit card or PayPal, or by phone on 0151 284 1126. We are unable to accept cheques.
