On 31st October 2019, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union. EU citizens will be required to apply for ‘Settled Status’ or ‘Pre-Settled Status’ if they wish to stay in the UK. This is part of the government's ‘EU Settlement Scheme’ (EUSS).

The voluntary sector will be significantly impacted by Settled Status: London’s charity sector is made up of 14% EU National charity workers. Furthermore, the voluntary sector makes up one of the primary interfaces between civil society and European Londoners and their family members, of all walks of life. 

New Europeans is a civil society initiative championing the rights, inclusion and participation of European citizens. Over the past few years, New Europeans UK team has been delivering info session and application workshops on Settled Status with communities across the UK.

We want to know where the gaps are in the voluntary sector regarding EUSS support: where more information, support, and resources are needed to support Londoners accessing this new status. The results of this research will form a short report which we will be launching in October 2019 at our ‘EUSS and the voluntary sector’ seminar.

Please complete this brief survey to help us find out.

You can email tamsin@neweuropeans.net for more info about this study. This is part of an ongoing project to provide practical support and training to the voluntary and community sector with the Settlement Scheme. 

Thanks to IMIX and the Runnymede Trust for support developing this survey.
