The people we have helped

Augustin

Augustin has lived in Glasgow since 2007, working for the first few years but finding it increasingly difficult as his health worsened. He started coming to our drop-ins in 2013 where we helped with range of problems, most stemming from his poor state of health. He was mostly supported by his extended family and his income as a musician, playing accordion in Glasgow.

In July 2019 Augustin came to an information session with us about the EU Settlement Scheme and decided it would really help him if he got his settlement in the UK. We made an appointment for him to come back and then took him through the online application and helped him prove his identity online using the app. He had brought a lot of bank statements and other documents so we translated enough to help him pick out what he needed to prove his residence, scanned them and submitted them online too.

In September we helped Floarea with her EUSS application too, giving her information about the scheme, completing the application online with her and helping her ask her GP for confirmation of her living in Glasgow for 5 years.

Having Indefinite Leave to Remain has taken away all the uncertainty after years of struggling to get benefits and make ends meet. You listened to me and helped me claim my rights.
