CARAS - Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers
Growing numbers of young people seeking asylum face detention and deportation and are especially vulnerable to homelessness due to rapid policy changes. CARAS supports young people in South West London to succeed in all areas of their lives, focusing on building connections and community, boosting their ability to thrive in education, and offering advice and guidance to help them understand their rights and address, immigration, housing and leaving care.
Our funding supports the costs of additional fundraising resource, focused on maximising donations from supporters and increasing the charity’s financial resilience. The role is enabling the Director more time to focus on strategy development.
