Settled worked hard to ensure as many as possible secured their immigration status before the deadline in June 2021, so that their lives here could continue. We now continue to provide free, accredited information, advice and support to EU citizens, including people who are late applying to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), or who have had their application refused. We also help when people are struggling to prove their immigration status or access rights and services. Since March 2022, Settled also now provides advice on the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine Scheme. This service is for Ukrainians in the UK or overseas, and hosts. We cover immigration rights and broader rights of housing, education, etc. ‘Settled Culture’ is a new development to promote grassroots cultural events by or for European citizens here, starting in Wales as a pilot. The new project will celebrate the cultural contributions of EU citizens and Ukrainians in the UK – both first generation migrants to UK, and second/older generations to express diversity of multiple identities. We also aim to help British people access, and delight in, the cultures of their European neighbours; and to improve local community cohesion. We are currently working with a developer to build a new website for 'Settled Culture', which will go alongside and complement Setttled's core advice work and existing website. Events, articles and videos will be promoted through this new site and social media. Could this be you, or someone you know? You may be an aspiring journalist, looking to build your portfolio? Or a researcher? Or involved in ‘culture’ yourself as a musician, comic, cafe owner, magician! You may be an EU/EEA or Ukrainian citizen living in Wales or the wider UK, or from a different migrant background, or sympathetic to our vision. If any of this resonates, and you meet relevant aspects of the person specification, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by emailing volunteer.manager@settled.org.uk We look forward to hearing from you!
