SWAP provides support to the members of our newest communities and has a particular focus on helping refugees, asylum seekers and migrant workers from the new European states.
As well as giving practical support and help with social integration to new arrivals, SWAP also offers training support and signposting to service providers working with migrants in the Borough who need to increse their understanding of the regulatory framework and social / cohesion issues affecting new communities in Wigan.
The services are jointly delivered by paid staff and volunteers many of who are from the new communities themselves. Enquiries from new potential volunteers are welcomed.
Although SWAP does not give legal advice on immigration issues and cannot support clients to complete legal forms, it will signpost to agencies who do.
