Refugee Survival Trust provide refugees and people seeking asylum with practical support, helps build connections between people and campaigns for change. Some of the support provided includes:

• Financial assistance to refugees and people seeking asylum in Scotland who are facing extreme poverty and homelessness.
• Accommodation service filling a crucial support gap for people seeking safety in Scotland through the asylum system, who have become homeless and have lost their entitlement to support.
• Travel expenses for new or expectant mothers

Use this guide to find out what you and your supporters can do to help strengthen your legal case. Look out for the ACTION SECTION boxes throughout the guide!

This toolkit also explains the difference between legal advice, which no one at CYF may give by law, and legal support, which we can help with. (Mainly writing letters of support.)

1. We offer safe accommodation and holistic support to people who have been made homeless and destitute through the asylum process.

2. Boaz Floating Support provides holistic support including ensuring people have access to legal advice, practical help to relieve destitution, and other specialist support, advice and signposting (in partnership with the Booth Centre and GMIAU as part of the Greater Manchester Restricted Eligibility Support Service).

We refer people to specialist services for health, welfare and psychological support as well as to foodbanks, hot food places and community support groups. We also hold social groups and activities which gives our clients an opportunity to interact and socialise.
