Based in Thailand, TBC supports community-led humanitarian assistance in refugee camps along the Thai–Myanmar border, emergency assistance to displaced persons outside these camps, and supports displaced communities inside Myanmar. Its work focuses on ensuring access to food, shelter, protection, and dignity, even in the most difficult circumstances.

In addition to meeting urgent needs, TBC works alongside communities to strengthen resilience and self-reliance. The organisation partners with refugee and community-based organisations, enabling them to lead in designing and delivering assistance that is relevant to local needs and priorities. TBC also facilitates durable solutions, including local integration and resettlement. Where conditions within Myanmar allow, TBC can assist with safe returns, provided these are voluntary and desired by the refugees being supported.

TBC is a consortium of non-governmental organisations, each bringing valued expertise and experience to the partnership. It is governed by a Board that includes consortium and independent members who contribute strategic oversight and diverse perspectives.

Incorporated as a charity in the United Kingdom, TBC currently operates under charitable governance standards while maintaining a strong presence in the region. This structure has served TBC well, ensuring accountability to its members, donors, and the communities it serves, while enabling it to draw on both regional knowledge and international networks.
