What we do

At the Baobab Centre we offer a community of support to young survivors of child‑specific human rights abuses who arrived as unaccompanied minors in the UK.

We are a transitional space where issues of trauma and loss are explored through multi‑disciplinary work, allowing young people to start on their journey to thrive in society. We fight for their rights, for their needs, for rehabilitation and justice.

“There is nothing like Baobab, an organisation that both supports young people and provides them with the care they need to rebuild their lives, but also values their strength, resilience and capacity not just to survive these experiences but to thrive and support others.”

Prof Heaven Crawley, University of Coventry, Baobab Patron
