“Really, boaz has helped me. Before, I had no home, no doctor, I had nothing. The boaz staff are very helpful and kind. If I am honest, without boaz, I would maybe now dead .”

Hamed (Darfuri asylum seeker and boaz client)

The way in which it treats those from other lands who seek its sanctuary is one of the surest hallmarks of a humane & civilised nation. Unfortunately the United Kingdom is falling down in many aspects of its duty in this regard at present, with the notable exception of organisations like the boaztrust, which relies on voluntary support to make good some of these national deficiencies. It deserves our gratitude and its support for what it is doing on our behalf.”

“The boaztrust provides not just shelter; it gives dignity back to many men & women”

Enoch Kunarajah (Project Coordinator: Enabling Christians in Serving Refugees)

“The boaztrust speaks for those who have no or few rights & I highly value their work”

Debra Green (Director: City Links)

“Hospitality is a virtue practised by Jews, Christians & Muslims. It is a scandal that in wealthy Britain there should be people from foreign countries who experience complete destitution. Initiatives like that of the boaztrust deserve our wholehearted support.”

Nicholas Sagovsky (Canon Theologian: Westminster Abbey)

“Those who come here in search of sanctuary from persecution, whether or not their claim is eventually successful, need to feel that while they are here they are welcome & respected. The work of the boaztrust is a radiant example of this. It was a pleasure, on our visit, to be confronted with so many instances of dedication, good sense, kindness, realism & humour. The work of the Trust deserves to be better known and more widely imitated.”

Sir John Waite (Co-Chair of the Independent Asylum Commission)
