SOJOURNER PROJECT

Brief Description

The Sojourner Project was a pilot scheme run by Eaves, a London-based charity, and funded by the Home Office, and was operational from Monday 30th November 2009 until the end of February 2010.  Eaves worked in partnership with a range of other voluntary providers to co-ordinate support, accommodation and subsistence for women and their dependents throughout the country.  The Sojourner Project was for women with no recourse to public funds, who entered the UK on a spousal or partner visa and are eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the Domestic Violence Rule.
