SWAP Wigan - Support for Wigan Arrivals Project
Support for Wigan Arrivals Project supports asylum seekers and refugees who are living in the Wigan Borough.
Our vision is for everyone living in Wigan to feel welcome, to be given an equal chance to build a decent life, and to know where and how to access support when necessary.
SWAP provide practical hands on support through a range of services, including 1:1 advocacy and case work, educational and support groups working across Wigan Borough.
We also have close working relationships with a large number of specialist providers that we can signpost people to. Please note that SWAP does not give legal advice on immigration matters, and we are unable to help clients to fill in legal forms, but we can signpost people to agencies that provide this help.

Referrals accepted by email. Clients can drop-in but prefer if they call ahead.
