One of the aim of the WLAC is to relief poverty, stress and provide free, confidential and impartial advice, information, assistance, representation, counseling. translation and interpreting services on matters such as; immigration, money debts, welfare benefits, health, housing, social services, education, training and employment. Therefore we are here to help and support this vulnerable and disadvantage group. Our charity activities continue to concentrate on the above named topics. Due to language barrier. lack of knowledge of law and legislation , our clients have difficulties in accessing the mainstream services. They also suffer from stress, isolation and mental problems all these caused by the past experience in the country of origin. Despite their other commitment ( professional and family), our volunteers have been working hard as usual. They are committed to helping the community to settle/adapt and integrate into the British society. What is more, volunteers are always willing to help and make sacrifices. They accompany clients to housing services. DHSS Home Office, Solicitors firms, etc. They visit clients at their homes specially those who cannot reach the office for different reasons. Recently, the WLAC has set up a women’s group in order to help single mothers, elderly and assistance and support on all matters regarding women. WLAC has successfully registered with the Offices of the Immigration Services commission. The centre now holds the certificate of exemption. It also holds Quality Mark at general help with casework. |
