Alongside partner organisations, we support women to deal with past traumas and regularise their status in this country. We achieve this by providing accommodation and one-to-one support in liaison with Social Services with the following:
Resolving immigration issues (although we do not provide legal advice ourselves,
we work closely with immigration advisors)
Gaining life skills
Accessing health services and other support groups
Volunteering opportunities to increase employability skills and self-confidence.
Accessing counselling services, parenting support, literacy & numeracy skills.
We support women to work through their circumstances and move on from their traumatic experiences of the past to a better, brighter future.
Our criteria for accepting clients to the Welcome Home Project:
– Women with children/pregnant, and homeless.
– No Recourse to Public Funds (must be referred by supporting agency).
– Or have just received their rights to benefits, but they have yet to come through.
– Has application or appeal with Home Office or willing to make one.
– Willingness to comply with the project’s aims, ethos and House Rules
We do not accept self-referrals for our women’s accommodation. Most of our referrals come through the Children’s Social Services departments of various London boroughs .
Families with children over the age of 16 are unlikely to be accommodated because of the vulnerable nature of women within the house.
Please read our House Rules for further details.
The first home in the project is a 5 bed + 5 bath furnished house in leafy Twickenham (TW2), where London councils can place NRPF single mums with the option of high quality, nightly accommodation until a suitable long term home is available.
