How your donations help
Donations form the backbone of our efforts, allowing us to provide resources to churches and assistance to people in need. As a registered charity in Northern Ireland, we do not receive ongoing core funding. This makes your contributions all the more valuable as we aim to empower local churches to support refugees and respond positively to the needs of minority-ethnic communities.
We are immensely grateful to those who have supported our work through their donations. As a voluntary organisation, we rely on your generosity to prepare resources and manage our operations effectively. If you would like to make a donation, please contact us at info@embraceni.org or click the any of our donation links to contribute.
EMERGENCY FUND
Our Emergency Fund provides crucial emergency assistance to support refugees, destitute migrant workers and people seeking asylum who find themselves without other means of support. Donations made to this fund are used in a variety of impactful ways to alleviate immediate hardship.
How Our Emergency Fund Helps
Shelter Support
When individuals find themselves without shelter, our Emergency Fund, through appropriate agencies, can provide immediate support by covering a few nights of hostel fees. This crucial assistance prevents people from facing the dangers and uncertainties of living on the streets, ensuring they have a safe place to rest and begin to rebuild their lives. Without this support, many would be left with nowhere to turn in their time of need.
Transition Support
The introduction of Universal Credit has left many asylum seekers in a challenging position. Once granted Leave to Remain, they often face a wait of over a month before they can access any benefits. During this transitional phase, many end up moving into new accommodation without basic amenities like electricity and are forced to rely on food banks. Our Emergency Fund plays a crucial role in alleviating this burden, providing essential support as they adjust to their new circumstances.
We do not work directly with individuals; rather, we provide assistance through referrals from established organisations.
Gift Aid
By completing a Gift Aid Declaration, your donation can be increased by 20%, significantly enhancing the impact of your generosity. If you are a UK taxpayer, this simple act can help us do even more for those in need.
