The Refused Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (RASAP) supports people who have been refused asylum and are no longer receiving support from the Home Office. Many of the people we work with are left without a safe place to live, an income or a support network in the UK, making them extremely vulnerable.
How we help…
-
1-1 casework to help people understand their legal options and navigate their next steps
-
Support clients to improve their health and wellbeing
-
Refer to specialist services such as counselling and talking therapies
-
Identifying and supporting those who may be at risk or have experienced modern slavery
Our Friday group is at the heart of our project – a welcoming and inclusive space where people can find practical support, build connections and feel part of a community. Clients can enjoy a hot meal in our community café, collect groceries and toiletries and access a clothes bank every fortnight. This support is supplemented by a four-weekly cash payment to help meet essential needs.
The project is supported by 19 local organisations, more than a dozen dedicated volunteers and countless others who donate food to stock our food bank. Together, we provide advice, referrals and essential support to help people facing some of the most difficult circumstances rebuild stability, dignity and hope.
