Migrant Help

This funding will allow Migrant Help to support vulnerable individuals across England to submit their applications to the EU Settlement Scheme. By collaborating with trusted partners and with our dedicated team of client advisers working across the country, we will continue providing essential support to those that need it. We are an OISC accredited organisation and our trauma-informed staff will provide bespoke assistance to ensure that vulnerable EU citizens can settle safely and with stability.
