ASYLUM SEEKERS AND REFUGEES

We are interested in funding work that promotes the inclusion of female asylum seekers and refugees, and helps with their integration and settling into life in the UK.

We fund organisations that work with female asylum seekers and refugees regardless of where they originate from – we do not fund refugee community organisations (that work with single nationalities).

Our focus is on those women who are seeking asylum in the UK, and female refugees who have been through the asylum system; rather than people who arrive in the UK through community sponsorship or via resettlement schemes.

We aim to assist with the provision of relevant advice, information or advocacy; with social or therapeutic activities aimed at lessening isolation; and work to help change public attitudes or policy in relation to immigration issues.  We also fund practical and emotional support; English classes; destitution support; hosting/accommodation projects; and drop-in costs.
