ASeekers was founded in response to a clear need: asylum seekers arriving in the UK often face a complex, confusing system with limited access to reliable information in their own languages. What started as a small project to compile helpful resources has grown into a comprehensive platform serving thousands of asylum seekers across the United Kingdom. Our team combines expertise in immigration law, social work, technology, and lived experience of the asylum system. We recognized that accurate, accessible information could be transformative. When asylum seekers understand their rights, know where to find help, and feel supported by a community, they are better equipped to navigate one of the most challenging periods of their lives.

Our Story
Why We Exist
The UK asylum system is complex and often overwhelming. Many asylum seekers arrive traumatized, isolated, and facing language barriers. They need reliable information but often don't know where to turn. We exist to bridge this gap. We believe that access to accurate information is a fundamental right, and that everyone deserves to navigate the asylum system with dignity and understanding.
