Settled

Settled is a charity set up in 2019 to help EU citizens living in the UK whose rights were affected by Brexit. We worked hard to ensure as many as possible secured their immigration status before the deadline in June 2021, so that their lives here could continue.

We now continue to provide information, advice and support to EU citizens, including people who are late applying to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), or who have had their application refused.

We also help when people are struggling to prove their immigration status or access rights and services. These can include the right to bring family members to join them in the UK, and to access welfare benefits, healthcare, etc.

Since March 2022, we also now provide advice on the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes for Ukraine Scheme. This service is for Ukrainians in the UK or overseas, and hosts. We cover immigration rights and broader rights of housing, education, etc. (We do not assist in ‘matching’ directly).

Settled is registered to give immigration advice at OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) Level 3. We have a small staff team of coordinators and lawyers, and a network of 50+ dedicated volunteers based throughout the UK.

We speak over 20 European languages, including Romanes for our dedicated Roma service, and Ukrainian and Russian.
