Drug and alcohol abuse in refugees
The London Borough of Ealing are searching for partners for a European Refugee Fund project. The general objective of the European Refugee Fund is to support and improve the efforts of Member States to grant reception conditions to refugees, displaced persons and beneficiaries of subsidiary protection; to apply fair and effective asylum procedures and to promote good practices in the field of asylum.
Ealing's project will focus on drug and alcohol abuse as barriers to the integration of asylum seekers and refugees into European societies. Ealing will lead the project, but is looking for European partners in order to be able to compare experiences and share knowledge.
For more information on the project, or if you are interested in being involved as partners, please contact Syed Mazhar (email: MazharS@ealing.gov.uk).
