BACKGROUND


Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.


The International Rescue Committee UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its headquarters in New York and London.

The IRC is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster.


The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve.

The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.


IRC UK


IRC UK was established in 1997 to support the organisation's global activities and particularly to diversify its donor base and be able to better advocate with policymakers on behalf of the people we serve.

Since its establishment IRC UK has grown rapidly and now comprises approximately 180 staff.
