Destitution
Destitution is an extreme state of poverty, in which a person is almost, if not completely lacking in resources or means of support.
How do asylum seekers become destitute?
Due to the continuous toughening of immigration policies over the last few years, the largest majority of the people claiming asylum in UK are refused refugee status. In practice this means that they are left without the right to work or claim benefits or any other support.
Citizenship Preparation
RMC offers FREE workshops, each lasting up to 2 hours and followed by online practice where it is wanted. We take the preparation one bite-sized piece at a time! All sessions are accompanied by notes.
