Settling Well project – referral arrangements

Background

 Brushstrokes is working with Sandwell Council and Citizens Advice Sandwell on ‘Settling Well’, a project providing early interventions for migrants living in Sandwell helping them access services they require to ‘Settle Well’. The project is funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

The service

The full time senior advice worker, Jasbir Matharu, provides specialist advice for migrants living in Sandwell where immigration status is affecting their access to housing, health, social care and welfare benefits.

Jasbir will be providing support from clinics in Smethwick and West Bromwich.

Who can receive support

  • Sandwell residents

Because of the funding conditions, support will not be available to:

  • asylum seekers or
  • people with no recourse to public funds because they are here without leave to remain.

Referral process

If you know of a client where their immigration status is a complicating factor affecting their access to services and benefits please contact Jasbir on 07887 415156 or Jasbir@brushstrokessandwell.org.uk  to arrange an appointment.
