RST is a small volunteer-led charity that provides grants to asylum seekers and refugees living in Scotland. These grants either alleviate poverty and destitution, or help refugees and asylum seekers to overcome obstacles in accessing educational and employment opportunities. RST uses the information and experience gained from providing these grants to encourage procedural changes on the part of Borders and Immigration Agency (BIA - part of the Home Office) in Glasgow, and also to encourage the Home Office and the Scottish Executive to improve conditions for asylum seekers and refugees in Scotland.
