Donations of money are greatly appreciated.
Monetary donations are used in many ways, including to support our Welcome days (e.g. with transport and catering costs), specific individuals in need and also to support groups that we work with. Currently, we support hardship issues in Swansea via Swansea asylum seekers support and Ethnic Youth Support team with money that they can use as needed for food, travel, footwear and emergency accommodation. We also donate to Asylum Justice, the only organisation in Wales and one of the last remaining in the United Kingdom to provide free specialist immigration advice and representation, up to and including court level, to asylum seekers, refugees, and vulnerable migrants. The money we give is used for specialist reports to assist asylum cases.
We are a registered charity [ 1173570] . Most expenditure is agreed at our monthly meetings which everybody is welcome to attend.
