£1.5 Million Government Fund to Aid Windrush Compensation Claims (UK)
The UK government has announced £1.5 million in funding to improve support for victims of the Windrush scandal applying for compensation. This funding will increase advocacy support for applicants of the Windrush Compensation Scheme, which compensates individuals who suffered losses due to their inability to prove their right to live in the UK. The scheme is available to people of all ages and nationalities, including those from African, Asian, and Caribbean backgrounds. With this new funding, organisations will be better equipped to guide those affected through the complex application process and help them secure their legal status. Further details will be made available in due course.
