Guardian and Observer readers give more than £1.42m for refugees

Just over 12,750 readers donated to the 2023 appeal to benefit three charities helping asylum seekers

An incredible £1,425,000 has been raised by Guardian and Observer readers for our charity appeal in aid of refugees and asylum seekers.

Three charities will share in the donations – Refugee Councils of Britain, Refugees at Home and the No Accommodation Network (Naccom). Each provides frontline help to homeless and destitute refugees and asylum seekers and campaigns for a more humane asylum system.
