Cash card delays are leaving asylum seekers penniless, say charities

Last modified on Thu 27 May 2021 12.51 EDT Charities and human rights campaigners have warned that thousands of asylum seekers are at risk of going hungry for 10 days or more after multiple reports of problems with cash cards provided by the Home Office. The Home Office gives £39.63 a week to asylum seekers in the form of a debit card called an Aspen card. Until Friday 21 May these were administered by the facilities management company Sodexo. But this week the contract has been taken over by a new company, Prepaid Financial Services, which is replacing the old Aspen cards with new ones. Asylum seekers and charities across the UK supporting them are reporting problems including new cards not arriving, people receiving cards with other people’s names on or no money showing up on the new cards once asylum seekers have activated them.

UN urges UK to help migrants trace loved ones who have died crossing the channel

SHARE The UK is being urged to create a dedicated agency to help migrants discover the fate of their loved ones, as deaths during migration journeys are believed to be far higher than first thought, a UN report warns. The International Organisation of Migration (IOM) has made a number of recommendations after investigating the experiences of more than 75 families looking for relatives in the UK. The present estimate for those who have perished crossing the English Channel is around 300, but the IOM believes the true number is far higher. It has made a number of recommendations urging the UK to establish an agency to help migrants find their relatives without fear of reprisals from the authorities.
