Description

This project is a continuation of the main activities from Pre Defined Project 2, and the objective is providing holistic support to individuals at risk of social marginalisation and exclusion and paving the way towards their empowerment and self-reliance. Athens Solidarity Centre (ASC) will continue providing services through a holistic approach (“one-stop shop”) bringing together expertise across different fields and complementary services. 

The project will ensure the provision of a comprehensive package of complementary services, including:

  • Legal aid and information services provided through counselling sessions and facilitating access to the state welfare system and other services as required, allowing individuals to become aware of and act upon their rights;
  • Employment assistance including preparation, capacity building and jobs matching.
  • Accountancy services handling pending issues with fiscal, state and banking authorities
  • Supporting vulnerable individuals and unaccompanied minors, with their registration by the Greek Asylum Services.
  • Cooperation with Athens Development and Destination Management Agency (Pre defined Project) related to referrals of beneficiaries to and from Athens Solidarity Center and Athens Development and Destination Management Agency for relevant beneficiaries to have access to services provide by both entities.
