NRPF Coalition Wales

No recourse to public funds (NRPF) is a condition attached to most people in the UK who do not have settled status. It restricts access to many of the mainstream benefits that others can access in times of financial hardship.

The NRPF Coalition Wales is a collaboration of third sector and grassroots organisations which works to make Wales a better place for people with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF).  It is facilitated and serviced by the Bevan Foundation but operates collaboratively in the interests of people affected by the No Recourse to Public Funds restriction.

The Coalition is a forum for members to take a strategic approach to influencing policy and in campaigning on key issues. In doing so, it gives collective power to individual organisations and people with lived experience of No Recourse to Public Funds, and enables a diverse sector to speak with a single voice. The Coalition acts as a valuable resource for member organisations seeking to share information, promote good practice, and develop effective joint working, as well as being an important source of knowledge and experience for external organisations and services.

Organisations and active individuals who share the aims and interests of the Coalition and agree to its terms of reference are welcome to join and can apply using the form below.
