We are stronger together

ASIRT is a not-for-profit OISC regulated advocacy organisation which provides legal support and representation to asylum seekers and other undocumented migrants in the West Midlands.

We can help with:

  • Human rights applications (including help with fee waivers)
  • Applications for recourse to public funds
  • ‘Zambrano’ applications
  • Fresh asylum claims
  • Applications for local authority Children Act/Care Act assessments
  • Training around migrants’ health and social care rights for local professionals.

We help those that are not eligible for publicly funded legal representation, and lack the financial resources to be able to pay for private representation to help regularise their immigration status.
