In 2020 the charity Hope Projects (West Midlands) commissioned an inter-disciplinary team of NTU researchers to conduct a five-year evaluation of its services for destitute asylum seekers. This is a highly innovative model, which combines high quality free legal advice, housing and financial support, and diverse other services. It aims to support the wellbeing of some of the most marginalised and precarious members of our society, helping them to escape destitution, stabilise their immigration status, and build a sustainable life in the UK.
