Windrush Compensation Advocacy Support Fund 2026 to 2027
The Windrush Compensation Advocacy Support Fund (WCASF) is providing £1.5 million over 3 years in grant funding to support people who need additional help when applying to the Windrush Compensation Scheme (WCS).
The WCASF is offered alongside existing WCS support services. WCASF advocates give culturally informed support to help applicants explain their experiences and make a valid application. Advocates build trusted relationships with applicants so they feel safe, supported and comfortable throughout the process.
Over £600,000 is available for year 2 (2026 to 2027) of the WCASF. Funding for the listed organisations will be available until 31 March 2027.
If you want to receive this support and you are eligible, you can contact these organisations directly or you can contact the Help Team on 0800 678 1925. The Help Team will tell you your regional advocate's contact information.
If you want to receive support from Northern Ireland, North East of England or overseas you should contact the Help Team.
