Combatting Destitution Project
Our distinctive initiative supporting destitute individuals
Who we are
At CRMC, our dedicated and diverse team is committed to combating destitution among refugees and migrants in Coventry. Utilising a holistic and trauma-informed approach, we address both the causes and consequences of destitution, providing comprehensive support to those in need.
We define destitution as having no access to public funds (NRPF), and our unique project aims to empower individuals by offering tailored assistance and resources. Through our efforts, we strive to create a more inclusive and supportive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The Combatting Destitution Project begins by assessing each individual’s needs and then provides personalised one-on-one care tailored to those specific requirements.
Each client’s support is unique and customised to their particular needs.
Our team offers support through:
Free private professional immigration advice
Advocacy
Financial subsistence
Food
Money management
Therapy/art therapy
Gardening group
Health information sessions
Learning to manage own tenancy
Social groups and activities
Housing
