What

Our mission is to ensure that disadvantaged people of Kuwaiti ethnic origin in the UK have access to high-quality advice, information, and support. We believe that people are disadvantaged if they face economic, language, or cultural barriers which prevent them from properly accessing mainstream services in the UK.

We run a friendly drop-in advice clinic for Kuwaiti and other Arabic-speaking young people. We offer support with housing matters, welfare, and debt. The types of things we can help with include:

• Assisting with filling in forms, translations, phone calls as well as referrals to other specialist organisations and solicitors.
• Offering advice about, and help applying for, welfare benefits, loans, and grants.
• Supporting people to find suitable housing and resolving problems with existing housing.
• Helping to resolve disputes with debt agencies.
• Providing immigration advice, including applications for travel documents and for indefinite housing and benefits.

We also provide free workshops to people who would like to be empowered with the skills to overcome the above issues on their own, and support their friends and family too.
