The U.K. Home Office opened a £600,000 grant round Monday to help community organizations guide Windrush Compensation Scheme applicants through claims, extending advocacy funding into 2027-28.
The program is intended for people who need additional help with a compensation claim. Advocates can explain the process, help applicants describe their experiences and organize material for a submission, the Home Office said. Advocates may continue helping until claimants accept a decision or request a review.
Launched in summer 2025, the three-year fund has a total budget of £1.5 million. The Home Office said experience from earlier funding rounds and input from the Windrush Commissioner and community organizations shaped this round.
The latest application round opened Nov. 9. The Home Office also plans two information sessions for organizations considering a bid and directs applicants to the government’s Find a Grant service.
