Preston City Council has been part of the Asylum Seekers Dispersal Scheme for a number of years. In April 2022 the Minister announced that there would be a full dispersal scheme which did not depend on local authorities "opting in" to the scheme. Along with this announcement was the inclusion of funding to support local authorities to deliver their statutory duties and also to support wider initiatives to be decided by each local authority to support Asylum Seekers. This form is to apply for Grant Funding for Asylum Seekers placed in Preston through the Council's Asylum Seekers Dispersal funding programme. This grant funding will be used to support Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector groups, Sports Agencies, Education facilities and any other agency, to ensure that Asylum Seekers placed in Preston are receiving support in a number of areas that have been highlighted. Before completing this application please ensure you have read and understood the Grant Funding Policy for Asylum Seekers in Preston . Here you will find the eligibility criteria, what the council will not fund, the assessment criteria, the application timeline and the grant decision. NB. There is a finite amount of grant available for this scheme, and applicants should be aware that even in cases where they meet all the relevant criteria, funding may still be declined because of budgetary constraints.
