A programme in Wales is offering free bus and train transport to asylum seekers during the months of February and March. Those behind the programme hope it will become a permanent feature in Wales.
Asylum seekers, who have not yet received refugee status, are given an allowance of £39.63 per week and free accommodation. Many are said to also work in the black economy for additional income.
In 2019 the devolved Welsh government announced a plan to make Wales the world’s first ‘Nation of Sanctuary’ for refugees, offering counselling and integration efforts to people from the day they arrive.
