The Russian Refugees Aid Society

Refugees and asylum seekers from the area that was formerly the Russian Empire and their families who are in need, and now live in Great Britain.

Eligibility

Refugees and asylum seekers from the area that was formerly the Russian Empire and their families who are in need, and now live in Great Britain.

Exclusions

The society does not help anyone who has been granted leave to remain, gained UK citizenship or is receiving benefits.

Type of grants

One-off grants, usually around £50. Grants are awarded for books and equipment/instruments. Schoolchildren can also receive grants towards the cost of uniform. Grants are particularly given for English language courses.

Applications

In writing to the correspondent. Applications can be submitted directly by the individual or through the individual's school, college or an educational welfare agency. Applicants must show proof that they have applied to the Home Office for asylum. They are considered at any time.

Other information

In the latest accounts the trustees stated that they were likely to be winding down the trust in 2012. This is due in part to their dwindling financial reserves, as a result of continuing to help asylum seekers waiting for the outcome of their cases, also they are rarely seeing refugees from Russia anymore and finally the government has published their legacy case review. Due to all these factors the charity states that:

'The prima facie reason for our Charity's existence will cease to be as relevant.'
