Entraide

Who we are

Entraide is a well-established charity based in North Solihull. Our aim is to promote the wellbeing of refugees and asylum seekers in Solihull and the surrounding area but also to facilitate their integration into society. We are currently the only refugee specialist organisation in Solihull providing support to around 700 clients a year from 20 different countries of origin. We are regulated by the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) to provide advice at Level 1 Immigration and Level 2 Asylum & Protection.

Entraide’s provision includes casework support, befriending, homework club and social activities.

• Casework providing tailored support on a wide range of issues including OISC Level 2 immigration advice to asylum seekers, refugees, and other vulnerable migrants.
• Children and Family Activities: providing leisure activities, in a space where children and parents from refugee and migrant backgrounds get to meet new people, learn about life in their new communities, share knowledge, integrate, and have fun!
• Befriending Scheme: where we offer support, encouragement and companionship to refugees and asylum seekers who have experienced loss and trauma and are attempting to rebuild their lives in the UK.
• Integration Support for newly arrived refugees: which provides activities to facilitate the social and economic integration of new refugees resettled in Solihull and Birmingham, enabling them to access mainstream services.
