Description:
Entraide's aim is to support refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable to facilitate their integration into society. Our current projects in the UK include:
? Casework providing advice and support on issues such as benefits, housing, access to education and health, OISC Level 1 regulated immigration advice, etc.;
? Destitution support: providing food parcels, clothes and basic items to those in desperate situations;
? Homework Club providing opportunities for learning and encouragement to engage with education;
? a Befriending service providing mentoring and befriending to newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees to reduce social isolation;
? a Youth Club for Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children which aims to build their resilience, encouraging young people to organise activities and trips and assisting them to become responsible adults.
? We also support Syrian families resettled in the borough under the Vulnerable People Resettlement Scheme.
We also operate in Africa, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where we implement a number of projects aimed at reducing poverty and improving the quality of life of marginalised communities.
