This week is Advice Week and we are supporting Advice UK’s #AdviceSaves campaign for a National Advice Workforce Strategy to address the workforce crisis facing the advice sector.
Advice Week provides us with a time to reflect on the power of advice and the difference it makes in people’s lives. At our Centre, we have seen first hand how support from advice workers can make a real difference. Since 1996, we have been supporting refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants in London.
Our advice services include free immigration advice through our Immigration Advice Line provided by IAA qualified advisers and our General Support Services provided by our dedicated team of volunteers.
Navigating the UK immigration system can be an extremely overwhelming process. Organisation such as ours ensure that those who need it have access to support with establishing their lives in the UK.
Advice is a tool of empowerment. At Notre Dame Refugee Centre, we are proud to celebrate our advice workers and volunteers and our ability to provide free, trusted and accessible advice.
