Supported Accommodation for Young Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Who We Support & Why It Matters

Safe Homes. Strong Futures.

At Afghan Association Paiwand, we provide supported accommodation for young refugees and asylum seekers aged 18–21 (in exceptional circumstances, upto the age of 25) who are alone in the UK.
Based in North West London, our team of staff and volunteers offers not only a safe place to live, but also the emotional, cultural, and practical support young people need to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Since 2002, Paiwand has been a trusted provider of youth support and housing for unaccompanied minors, complementing the work of local councils and statutory agencies to ensure no young person is left behind.

Our semi-independent accommodation programme gives young people more than a room — it provides a pathway to stability, education, and independence.
