Description

Lincolnshire is a rural county that has welcomed many displaced individuals and families. In response to global events, we have supported those seeking safety and a new beginning. It is essential that we provide flexible, culturally aware services delivered by providers who understand the refugee journey and are committed to supporting their integration into Lincolnshire life. The aim of this contract is to ensure that every refugee has access to the necessary advice, information, and support, and feels welcomed in Lincolnshire, regardless of visa status or language. Integration into the community and access to mainstream services such as healthcare, education, employment, and benefits are key priorities. Beneficiaries of the Lincolnshire Resettlement Partnership (LRP) will have received Home Office support to leave their home country. This includes, but is not limited to, individuals and families arriving through the following schemes: • Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) • Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) • Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP) • UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) • Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) Most individuals are granted legal leave to remain in the UK. We have responded to the ever-changing world events by welcoming people who must leave their homes, families, friends and Country to find a safer place for them and their children. It is therefore important that we provide a flexible, informed and culturally aware services. We would like to work with a service that has a passion and understanding of the journey refugees take to find safety and security and create a new fulfilled life in Lincolnshire. It is vital that they feel integrated into their community and know how to access mainstream services such as health, education, employment, and benefits.
