"The Refugee Survival Trust launched its research into destitution of asylum seekers and refugees in Scotland on 11th April. The report shows that RST provided over 1000 grants between January 200 and May 2004 to prevent the destitution and/or homelessness of people seeking asylum in Scotland. Of these grants, nearly half were for families with children, and a third for people with no fixed address. The research must be read by people in all organisations who work for asylum seekers and refugees: those who make and implement policy - including the Home Office, the Scottish Executive and local authorities - and more broadly by all those concerned with the rights of people seeking asylum in the UK"
