Birmingham No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Women’s Support Network
Birmingham NRPF Women’s Support Network (NRPF Network) works with women who are victims of abuse (domestic violence, coercive control, forced marriages etc.) and who have no recourse to public funds, or insecure immigration status, all of which impacts on their financial resilience. The NRPF Network includes Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid (lead partner), Roshni, Baobab, Refugee and Migrant Centre, British Red Cross, and Central England Law Centre Birmingham who bring together varied skills and expertise.
The aim of the programme is to establish an effective referral pathway for women accessing one or more of the partners’ services; to develop a coordinated action plan to influence change at local and, where possible, national level; and to establish a women’s advisory group (the voice of lived experience), which can steer the plans for change and eventually influence policy and processes.
Programme duration: August 2022 – August 2025
