Understanding The Windrush Schemes | CEMVO Scotland

26th March | 12-1PM | Online

Many people have heard of the Windrush Generation – those who came from Commonwealth countries to help rebuild Britain after the war, but not everyone knows about the difficulties some faced later in life, or the government schemes now in place to help support people.

This free online session will cover:

  • What happened during the Windrush scandal.
  • Who may be eligible for help through the Windrush Schemes.
  • How individuals and families can access support.
  • Why this matters for faith and community groups.

Faith communities and local networks often play a vital role in supporting those who feel isolated or unsure where to turn. By learning about these schemes, you can help spread awareness and ensure that anyone affected knows there is help available.
