Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Southampton and Winchester Visitors Group (SWVG) is a group of volunteers who befriend and support asylum seekers. We provide emotional and practical support such as access to legal advice and health care and support travel fares. This is becoming increasingly vital as destitute asylum seekers are forced to travel up to 500 miles on a round trip to Liverpool in order to submit evidence supporting their claims. These individuals receive just over £5 a day from the Home Office.
