The Initial Accommodation Outreach project provides vital support to people seeking asylum who are new to Nottingham and housed in temporary accommodation.

Our team helps people feel safe, supported and empowered to navigate life in the UK after they leave their initial accommodation.

Many of the people we support have complex health, wellbeing and integration needs. We work closely with Nottingham City Council, accommodation providers and a wide range of local organisations to provide coordinated support and ensure people can access the services they need.
Together, we help hundreds of people each year take the first steps towards building a safe and stable future in Nottingham.
“You explained things clearly when I was confused and worried. I felt respected and supported.” – Client of the Initial Accommodation Outreach Project
