About the MyCoventry Project

The MyCoventry project started in January 2021 and was developed to create change and address local and social economic inequalities that affect young people and adults from migrant communities, so we can help them interact and become an integral part of the UK.

The initiative is a 2 year project which had been funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), who have given the project a fund of £1.7m! Our Wonderful partners on the project are: 

The UK government announced the launch of the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) last week, in addition to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme. This scheme will resettle 5,000 people in the first year, and 20,000 people over the coming years. The ACRS scheme will aim to prioritise those who have assisted the UK efforts in Afghanistan, and vulnerable people including women and girls at risk and members of minority groups. Many who are vulnerable were left behind following the evacuation last year, whilst others are stuck in third country locations.

Our hearts go out to the 27 men, women and children who have tragically lost their lives in the channel whilst trying reach safety in the UK. We are devastated for their families and friends who have lost loved ones in this heart-breaking way.
