Our advisers help people understand their rights and entitlements and help them cope through very difficult circumstances. This includes supporting people with complex applications for emergency support and submitting fresh asylum applications with the help of solicitors or our partners at the law clinic.
We refer people to specialist services for health, welfare and psychological support as well as to foodbanks, hot food places and community support groups.
We also hold social groups and activities which gives our clients an opportunity to interact and socialise.
As well as supporting individuals in need we also work with statutory and voluntary partners to agree on the best approaches to combatting and alleviating destitution.
