Closed petition Fund improved benefits and living conditions for asylum seekers

Closed on 25 September 2022

The Government should increase financial support asylum seekers receive, to ensure they can afford essentials like clothing and meals, and increase funding to improve living conditions for asylum seekers. This should include regular inspections of housing to ensure living conditions are acceptable.

Asylum seekers across the United Kingdom have been complaining about living conditions for many years. As well as this Asylum seekers receive £39.63 per week which is £5.64 a day. This amount is not enough for them to afford food, sanitation and clothing everyday, especially in the face of rising costs of living.

The human rights of these asylum seekers must be respected, and changing the support they receive should help achieve this.
