SUPPORTING SYRIAN REFUGEES IN AND AROUND HUDDERSFIELD
Muslim Charity has been working with a locally registered charity called DASH (Destitute Asylum Seekers Huddersfield) in assisting refugees and asylum seekers in the area. Our funding supported DASH to provide destitute families with services such as cash grants for weekly shopping, regular hot meals and food packs, clothing items, transport for medical appointments and advice on a service user’s legal status. Between 50-60 refugee asylum seekers were assisted per session, with two sessions conducted every week on Mondays and Thursdays.
