About Us
EU Welcome is a project of the Portsmouth Roman Catholic Diocese http://www.portsmouthdiocese.org.uk/ UK Registered Charity 246871
WHAT DO WE DO?
EU Welcome exists to provide help and support to
migrants in the Southampton area from EU and other European countries.
We seek to empower our clients to to overcome the
challenges of living in a foreign country, by promoting the learning of English
and the understanding of British culture.
We are prepared to try to offer help in any area of
life, and much of our work involves signposting to other agencies and ensuring
that those agencies understand the needs of EU clients.
We work flexibly and are generally contacted through
telephone or internet but we also hold regular 'drop in' advice sessions
throughout the city.
We are particularly keen to help people who have
housing difficulties and who face possible homelessness, and we work closely
with agencies that work with 'street homeless' people. We also support victims
of domestic violence helping them to access available services.
We help people access employment that reflects their
qualifications, training and passions.
We wish to ensure that all clients understand their
rights in the UK, and can play their part to make Southampton an even better
place in which to live and work.
WHO WE HELP?
We assist the Polish, Czech, Slovak, Estonian, Slovenian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, as well as Romanian, Bulgarian and Russian speaking communities.
