Supporting Displaced Afghans towards Stable Life

Aim

USPUK aims to raise £5,000 supporting displaced Afghan families as they try to access long-term stability in the UK

Why it is needed

More than 15,000 who arrived in the UK through evacuation and resettlement schemes in 2021 are expected to become eligible for British citizenship over the coming months and years. For many families displaced by war and conflict, this represents an important milestone in rebuilding their lives and securing their future in the UK.

Why we are asking for your support
Navigating the citizenship process can be challenging. Many families are unsure where to begin, what the requirements are, or how to prepare for the Life in the UK Test. For larger households and low-income families, the costs involved can create additional barriers.

USPUK is already in contact with thousands of eligible Afghans and we have already developed a Life in the UK information pack in multi-language versions translated by our team. Funding will help us deliver practical resources, information workshops, and one-to-one guidance to help families prepare for this important step securing their future in the UK and becoming more independent.

How the funding will be used
We are aiming to raise £5,000 to:

• Support up to 10 low-income families with the cost of the Life in the UK Test, helping to remove a financial barrier for families preparing for citizenship.
• Deliver Life in the UK information workshops, covering venue, materials and participant support costs.
• Develop translated resources and easy-to-access information to help families better understand the citizenship process.
• Provide one-to-one consultations and guidance for individuals and families who need additional support.
• USPUK is getting registered with IAA to become Immigration Advisers and funding will really support us with this

Why trust USPUK
Since launching our Afghan Project in 2023, USPUK has delivered more than 1,400 consultations and enquiries in English, Dari and Pashto, supported hundreds of individuals and families with access to necessary materials and practical resources to help displaced people rebuild their lives after being forced to flee conflict and instability.

Our team combines professional expertise with lived experience of displacement and resettlement, allowing us to provide trusted, practical and culturally informed support to the communities we serve.

The impact
We aim to support at least 1000+ individuals through information sessions, workshops, one-to-one guidance and practical resources related to the Life in the UK Test and British citizenship. We are going to target those facing the greatest financial barriers to progressing on their citizenship journey.

Every donation will help us better shape future for Afghan refugee families and finally reach long-term stability
