Understanding the Afghan Resettlement Programme Changes
Key changes to Afghan resettlement schemes and what they mean for communities in the UK.
The UK government has consolidated Afghan resettlement schemes into the Afghan Resettlement Programme from 1 March 2025, with ARAP closed to new applications from 1 July 2025. These changes have significant implications for Afghan communities and the organisations that support them.
ABC is monitoring these developments closely and working to ensure that accurate, up-to-date information reaches community members and support organisations. We encourage anyone with questions to reach out through our contact page or attend one of our upcoming events.
