Deportation Support

Beyond Detention are able to provide a removal grant of £40 to those we are in contact with in Yarl’s Wood to help them with basics when they arrive in the country they are being returned too.

There is a network trying to put people deported from the UK to Europe in touch with groups that can provide post-deportation support. This was set up in response to the recent UK government efforts to expedite removals particularly of asylum seekers crossing by small boat from Europe. If you are working with anyone who is due to be deported then please email post-deportations@riseup.net. It's great if you can provide at least the city or airport where someone is due to be deported to (and ideally flight details). It may be possible to arrange for someone to meet them at the airport (this has worked before in some cases).

The Community Champion Programme is a peer support group for ex-detainees, run by ex-detainees who train to become community champions and support each other within their communities.

Fortnightly meetings designed to raise awareness and support each other through establishing stronger local links with the communities.

As well as hosting weekly support sessions for ex-detainees, they can also provide small amounts of money (£25) for travel costs – covering medical appointments, reporting to HO and more. Also, phone credit/data.  Located in Dover but support people across the country.

Drop-in groups, counselling and women’s groups in Wandsworth and Lambeth.

Weekly Drop Ins take place in Lambeth and in Wandsworth and provide advice on issues including immigration (OISC Level 2), housing, welfare benefits, health, education. training and employment.
