The purpose of the Asylum Seeker Support Fund is to:
- support individuals and families who have been placed in Croydon by the Home Office while their asylum claim is processed
- provide advice and guidance to individuals and families who have received their asylum decision and are faced with making decisions on their next steps, for example: housing applications and preparing for employment
What we are looking for in round 6
We are looking for projects that offer direct, practical support to individuals. Your project might:
• provide access to emergency essentials or supporting individuals at risk of homelessness with temporary accommodation
• deliver tailored training or employability programmes, including CV writing, digital skills, and job readiness workshops
• host regular drop-in clinics that offer 1:1 support, ongoing casework, and follow-up for complex needs
We will prioritise your organisation if it provides hands on, outcome focused support, that addresses the immediate and tangible needs of displaced people.
