37.75

Through creative campaigning and imagery, 37.75 is committed to raising awareness of the struggles asylum seekers face when living in the UK.

When arriving in the UK, asylum seekers are first assessed on whether they are ‘destitute’ and eligible to become a registered asylum seeker. If accepted they are granted access to shared accommodation and given £37.75 a week.

Is the UK really full?

Per capita Germany host 6 times the amount of refugees we do, while Jordan has welcomed 42 times as many.

She's been knitting jumpers for refugee children for 3 years. 

So far, she's knitted over 60 jumpers and sent them to distribution centres across Europe. 

Be like Alice. #ChooseLove

The budget for healthcare does not allow for toilet roll, instead a packet of 60p tissues is the alternative.

When living on the £37.75 a week budget that asylum seekers are allocated, only a £1 is allocated to toiletries.

This means that purchasing shampoo, body wash, dishwash or hand soap, individually may not be possible.
