URGENT financial donations needed

Enforced destitution experienced by people seeking asylum is a direct result of UK government policy. More and more people are accessing our drop-in every week and we struggle to keep up with the demand for our services.

We rely on regular donations from our supporters to provide our services. We are grateful for every penny donated.

Any amount can make a huge difference.
