Windrush Project
The aims of this project will be the following:
-
To raise awareness about the Windrush Compensation Scheme and the Windrush Scheme (documentation) amongst communities in Peterborough whose members could potentially be eligible.

To dispel any myths about the two schemes and to inform members of migrant communities about the details and how to apply. The attendees at the event will report having learnt something new about either the Windrush Compensation Scheme or the Windrush Scheme (documentation).
