Funding Extension of £3 Million to Help Vulnerable People Apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (UK)

The Home Office has announced a further £3 million of funding to help vulnerable and at-risk EU citizens apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), which allows them and their families to continue living and working in the UK.

The funding will support the network of seventy-two grant funded organisations, which includes charities, local authorities and community groups, to support people across the UK in applying to the EUSS who have vulnerabilities such as language barriers or limited access to IT. 

The funding will ensure that provision remains in place for eligible EU citizens with reasonable grounds for missing the June 2021 deadline to access the support they need to make a late application, which includes face-to-face, online and telephone support.
