General information
Service offered: Kent Refugee Help (KRH) is a small charity supporting foreign national prisoners held in Kent and London prisons. We support prisoners through individual casework helping them to access legal advice for their immigration, criminal and other matters. Our support continues after release if required as former FNPS face many barriers to integration due to isolation, poverty and insecure immigration status. We are authorised to provide immigration advice and services by the Immigration Advice Authority formerly OISC (office of the immigration services commissioner). We provide free immigration advice by telephone and video link. Immigration Advice telephone advice line for foreign national prisoners 0207 096147 Wed 10 am-12.30 pm, Thursday 4 pm -7 pm. We make legal and other referrals on immigration, criminal and related matters. We provide a confidential/legal visit by video -link or in person depending on the individual prison.
Target group: Our client group is foreign national prisoners some of whom are detained under immigration powers facing deportation (Please note our client group is foreign national prisoners not exclusively immigration detainees).
Area served: Kent and London
