Introduction to Our Coventry
As a city of Peace and Reconciliation, Coventry welcomes refugees and asylum seekers and offers support so they can:
- Access the support that they are entitled to
- Live healthy independent lives
- Contribute their skills to Coventry
How do we do this?
Education: We will help you to understand the education system and ensure children are in the classroom as fast as possible.
Health: We will help you to understand the health care system and ensure that you are registered with a GP.
Housing & Benefits: We can assist you to find private rented accommodation and if eligible, we can help you to apply for benefits.
Employment: We offer support with finding employment, and information about training and volunteering.
English classes: We have several ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes so you can learn English in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Everyday life: We offer support with many other things like British law, culture, social activities and young people.
