Services
Food bank
We run a weekly food bank for service users who are struggling across Brighton and Hove.
The food bank provides short-term support for destitute clients, usually with no recourse to public funds.
For a referral to the food bank, you can download our referral form here. If you are making a referral on behalf of someone else, we will need you to provide the client’s signed consent for you to do so. A request to self-refer to our food bank can also be made by phone or by email via our Generalist team.
ESOL and orientation groups
We run three weekly groups to help people find their way around the city and its services, practice English and improve wellbeing.
Skills and employability advice & casework
Our Skills and Employability Caseworker for the Resettlement team supports refugees in their journey towards education and employment.
Resettlement programmes
We work closely with families resettled in Brighton & Hove under various resettlement schemes including the United Kingdom Resettlement Scheme and the Afghanistan Resettlement Schemes (ARAP and ACRS) on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council.
Generalist advice and casework
Our generalist advice and casework includes welfare benefits, housing and homelessness, asylum support, children’s and adult community care, and digital inclusion.
Generally, all our services are for vulnerable and/or destitute migrants, asylum seekers and refugees who are not eligible for legal aid and/or do not have the means to pay for private legal advice. As a general rule we cannot currently assist EEA nationals – but will consider particularly vulnerable/complex cases. You can download our referral form here.

We are accredited to provide specialist immigration advice up to OISC Level 2. We provide advice & casework including initial applications to the Home Office and up to, but not including, appeals to the Tribunal.
