CITY COUNCIL WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE 124 INDIVIDUALS OVER 2025/26
BIRMINGHAM is set to accept another 120-plus Afghan refugees fleeing “perilous conditions” under Taliban rule.
The city council said it was willing to accommodate 124 people during 2025/26 as part of the government's Afghan Relocation Programme (ARP).
The programme aims to ensure all eligible Afghan nationals are safely resettled in the UK, with a focus on “long-term sustainability in accommodation and integration”.
According to the council, eligible individuals face particular hardship as they either furthered British interest in Afghanistan in their professional roles or have a documented record of standing up for European values.
Birmingham has a history of welcoming Afghan refugees and has already successfully supported the successful integration of 148 families.
