Last month, the Refugee Council and other charities providing integration services to refugees received a letter from a team residing within the Home Office. It announced that all the refugee integration services we fund via an EU grant program would be cut immediately in the event of a no-deal Brexit. This contradicts all the assurances the institutions responsible received from the government that the funding would be honored. At the Refugee Council, the institutions have used the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (Amif) to deliver high impact services aimed at preventing homelessness, destitution, penury, isolation, rootlessness, unemployment and mental distress. Immediately after this announcement funds started coming in and donations from all over the world are being offered to the refugee centers.
