The ReStart Project delivers an ambitious and innovative integration support programme for refugees, primarily in Wales’ four asylum dispersal clusters (Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham).

Refugees receive a holistic assessment of their needs and are routed through targeted support to enhance their efforts to integrate into society. The project plays a key part in the Welsh Government’s commitment to develop a ‘Nation of Sanctuary’.
This contract plays a major part in the project, aiming to procure suitable service provision (the ReStart: Refugee Integration Service) for Refugees between 1 April 2021 – 31 December 2021, operating primarily in Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham.
