EUSS Application drop In
The EU Settlement Scheme is a free Scheme which enables EEA and Swiss citizens resident in the UK, and their family members, to obtain the status they will require in order to live and work in the UK after 30 June 2021 (or after 31 December 2020 if there is a no deal exit).
The Children’s Society’s Migrant Advice Project offers support to vulnerable EU Citizens going through the EU Settlement Scheme in the North East. Support is also available to family members of EU citizens to gain settled or pre-settled immigration status in the UK.
The drop-in and appointment service is free of charge, with interpreters available to assist those who may face language barriers. Initial information gathering sessions will be carried out on the client’s first visit, and if appropriate an appointment date and time will be provided to continue to complete the application.
The Migrant Advice Project has access to all the necessary equipment needed to make EUSS applications, ensuring that all clients are able to make their application in a confidential environment.
Please see below for details of drop-in sessions:
Newcastle: Mondays at 1pm -4pm (except bank holidays) at Brunswick Methodist Church, Brunswick Place, NE1 7BJ

As part of Careers Week at Stanhope, we were visited by a community banker who works for Virgin Money. Paula came to talk to us about her role as community baker and the children learned about savings, mortgages, current accounts and charity work. The children also chatted about Sir Richard Branson and how built his Virgin Empire. The children were interested in the idea of being a entrepreneur and Paula explained how they could get involved with the Virgin Money ‘Make £5 Grow’ scheme. The children had some amazing ideas for small businesses to make their £5 grow.
Year 5 have ‘dared to be different’ today! They look great!
We have been asked to share this information on behalf of South Tyneside Council:
A new scheme is to be rolled out across South Tyneside to make sure children don’t go hungry in the school summer holidays.
The Council is to provide free meals at centres across the Borough for three days during the middle four weeks of the long school holidays to ease the pressure on struggling families.
There will be a mix of picnic – style food and hot food available depending on the day.

Year 5 have been very busy lately! They have taken part in an activity with a visitor from Operation Encompass who helped the them work together to understand what makes a good friendship.
They have also been voting for the engineer they feel deserves the £500 funding, in an online project called I’m an Engineer Get Me Out Of Here! They have really enjoyed asking questions to the participants and finding out about the variety of skills needed to become an engineer. Some of the children were inspired to become engineers themselves!
The phone lines in school are currently down. Please email school – [email protected] with any URGENT queries or to report absences.
