Welcome
Palm Cove Society provides supported accommodation for single homeless refugees, eligible destitute asylum seekers or migrants and unaccompanied asylum seeker children leaving care.
We can also accommodate any of the aforementioned women fleeing domestic violence (with low security needs).
Pregnant women, women with newborn babies or pre-school children are particularly welcome.
We operate as a halfway house to give individuals the breathing space required to acquire and develop life skills and the basic knowledge required for living in the UK.
Ongoing Support & Safety
Palm Cove Society offers all residents a comfortable place of safety and ongoing support. We provide guidance on issues such as education, health, housing and life skills. This is provided whilst promoting the ethos of regeneration, social inclusion and community cohesion.
Refugees and asylum seekers are often misunderstood, isolated and lonely. Many are alone as family members have perished during the atrocities of war in their countries of origin. Others, particularly unaccompanied asylum seeker children were separated from their parents/family members during their escape to freedom.
Consequently friendships are formed with individuals in the same situation - who understand their plight. These friendships become the lifeline for most asylum seekers and refugees.
At Palm Cove Society, we not only understand the value of these friendships, but recognize that lack of support and homelessness increases the difficulties they may already be experiencing. These include difficulties with integration, accessing benefit entitlement, education, health and lack of employment opportunities.
These problems are also compounded by language barriers, cultural differences and lack of civic knowledge. Palm Cove Society works tirelessly and collaboratively with other agencies to help residents address and overcome these problems.
