Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
The Asylum Rights Programme was awarded £1,207,000 for the period 2019 – 2022.
The key deliverables of the Asylum Rights Programme were to establish regional drop-in centres in Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, and Wrexham to provide practical advice and support for asylum seekers and refugees, tailoring advice and support based on needs in areas such as housing, health, social services, education, employment, finance, and language, and providing specialist advice and support for asylum seekers and refugees of all ages.
