Moving cities to start a new life can be a daunting experience for anyone but imagine being forced to flee your home because of a war.
Many refugees and asylum seekers endure long, painful and desperate journeys - travelling by overcrowded boats, cramped lorries or on foot as they trek in search of safety.
They don’t want to leave their home countries, their family and friends, but when war breaks out they are left with no other option.
Tens of thousands of refugees have arrived in the UK in recent years and the majority have grabbed every opportunity they can to make a better life for themselves in their new homeland by studying, volunteering, working and starting their own businesses.
