Devon & Cornwall Refugee Support provides a walk-in centre in Plymouth offering needs-led, practical assistance to asylum seekers.
At DCRS, we believe that the process of claiming asylum should be safe, dignified and fair. We equip asylum seekers with an understanding of their rights and support them as they go through the system.
Plymouth receives 300 plus asylum seekers at any one time from the Home Office under its dispersal scheme.
Our case workers provide support to resolve a wide range of health, accommodation, education, asylum system, benefits, social, destitution, ESOL and other issues relating to improving their prospects and integration into the community/ UK. Each morning DCRS will typically receive visits from 40-60 ASRs who will be triaged and assigned to a caseworker or given access to our IT, clothes store or social facilities.
