Amiqus, the UK’s leading compliance and onboarding services provider, is proud to announce a significant milestone in its ongoing partnership with the Scottish Refugee Council (SRC). As part of its commitment to raise £100k+ over three years from 2023 to 2025, Amiqus recently handed over a sum of £35k from its first wave of fundraising activities in 2023.

Callum Murray, founding CEO at Amiqus said, “We’re now one year into our partnership with the Scottish Refugee Council, supporting the vital work they do across the country.

Their front-line support services provide help and direction for people as they move from a position of danger and desperation to a safe place they can settle, call home and rebuild their lives, integrated with local communities.

Working together with a shared purpose, we’re developing the means to make sure Amiqus enables access to legal help, financial services and pathways into employment for people who need it most. 

Speaking on behalf of our board and everyone at Amiqus, we’re committed to playing our part for the long run and making an outsized impact on the SRC’s long-term objectives as we continue to sustainably scale Amiqus as one of the fastest-growing tech businesses in the UK.”

Entering the second year of partnership, Amiqus has intensified its fundraising efforts, with the latest activity being the sponsorship of the SRC Spring Ceilidh in Glasgow in April, which successfully raised over £9k. 

Furthermore, for the second consecutive year, the Amiqus team will be participating in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2024 on the 25th of May, collectively covering over 100 miles in support of the SRC.

Amiqus invites individuals and organisations alike to contribute to their fundraiser and join them in supporting the SRC’s invaluable work. Donations can be made on the Amiqus JustGiving page here.

Dr Sabir Zazai (OBE, FRSE), Chief Executive at the Scottish Refugee Council said, “We are honoured to work in partnership with Amiqus who have passionately been supporting our work for over a year now. 

Through supporting our Leadership programme with laptops, completing marathons, to sponsoring our fundraising events, Amiqus have been instrumental in helping us achieve our aims. 

We have a great relationship with the team, and we are already looking forward to working with Amiqus on their future fundraising and their upcoming initiatives which will support people as they seek to make a new life for themselves in Scotland.”
