| RST was set up to support refugees and asylum seekers living in Scotland. RST is not able to help refugees and asylum seekers living in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. RST Destitution Grants are designed to provide support to refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland when no other support is avaliable and there is risk of destitution. Destitution Grants are not intended to replace or complement government support. RST can provide short-term emergency support, which reflects the current levels of UKBA support. In the past year, RST provided grants to alleviate the destitution of 791 asylum seekers, including 86 children. Visit the Destitution Grants page to find out more. RST has also helped 56 refugees and asylum seekers further their learning in the UK, with the provision of their Access to Employment and Education grants. Grant applicants have used their grants to enroll in college, to buy books for university courses and to retake qualifications from their home country currently not recognised in the UK. Visit the Access to Education and Employment Grants page to find out more. |
