The relief of European Union Citizens* in need, by reason of war, conflict, youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, homelessness, being victims/survivors of domestic violence, being victims of human trafficking or other disadvantage by the provision of education, information, support, advice and representation. *For the purposes of of this clause, European citizens includes citizens and residents of all EU countries or EEA or Swiss nationals, or nationals of prospective or candidate countries to the European Union, or non-European Union citizens dependent on an European Union citizen for their current residence status.
We now continue to provide information, advice and support to EU citizens, including people who are late applying to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), who have had their application refused, or are moving from pre-settled to settled status once eligible. We also help when people are struggling to prove their immigration status or to access rights and services. These can include the right to bring family members to join them in the UK, and to access welfare benefits, healthcare, etc.
Since 2022, we also now provide advice on the UK’s Ukraine visa schemes. We cover immigration rights on the three schemes, and broader rights of housing, education, etc. (We do not assist in ‘matching’ directly).
