Maun Refuge supports refugees & asylum seekers to rebuild their lives and futures in Mansfield
Extending the Hand of Friendship
Who We Are
Delivering support and friendship to families in Mansfield since 2015.
In 2015 Maun Refuge was born to deliver support and friendship to families of Syrian refugees arriving in Mansfield under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Support Scheme. We’ve helped nurture many success stories over the years. Now our welcome has extended to displaced people from all over the world.
Working from a place of compassion, understanding, and hope, we offer a place for refugees and asylum seekers to feel at home and find a new kind of family.

Impact Stories
A Welcoming Space for New Futures
At our dedicated drop-in center right in the heart of Mansfield, we provide an unassuming, warm, and unintimidating atmosphere complete with study tables, books, and regular hot drinks. This safe space allows arriving families to comfortably practice their newly-acquired English language skills, access crucial healthcare, and receive help with the complex practicalities of everyday housing. It acts as a cornerstone for building long-lasting friendships across our district.
Sharing Culture, Language, and Cuisine
Our community integration initiatives celebrate diversity and build local confidence. From launching vibrant Middle Eastern community cuisine nights at West Nottinghamshire College to running successful food stalls at the local Mansfield Christmas Market, our families collaborate directly with the local public. These events allow individuals to actively exercise their language and numeracy skills while fostering mutual community acceptance.
