Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100Our applicant is an asylum seeker from Sierra Leone who has started the asylum process in January 2024. Due to their current status, they require a phone so they can stay in contact with their solicitor, the Home Office, police, GP and counselling groups, both by phone and email, which is critical for their asylum application. Their current phone is not working and limits their opportunity to interact with these people. As an asylum seeker, they are unable to work and purchase the phone themselves
Still £100 left to donate
Total needed £100This young female Eastern European asylum seeker, who is mum to a one year old, has no recourse to public funds. She has a broken phone that won't charge properly and has tried getting help from other charities, including our usual Tech Aid supplier, but they have paused new requests. A smart phone is essential for Home Office communications and admin, paediatric appointments and internet access. This sum will cover a basic phone, sim and data, whilst we support mum with her asylum claim.
