We can provide asylum seekers and refugees with items such as clothes, toys, books, bikes, microwaves, recycled TVs and laptops. Please contact us if you require this support.
Our sister organisation, Penrith and Eden Refugee Network, run a first steps housing scheme for refugees, which includes refugees in West Cumbria. If you have a spare room to rent, or you are a refugee who needs a room to rent, you can find out more here.
Unfortunately, there are very few solicitors available to help with asylum applications. However, the Penrith and Eden Refugee Network offer some legal support (up to IAA Level 3 in Asylum and Protection) so we can refer individual people seeking asylum to them. You can find out more about their service here.
