New Partnership

TMF is delighted to confirm that on 1st April 2025 it joined Enable, one of Scotland’s leading charities which has been championing the rights of individuals for over 70 years. Enable’s mission is to work for an equal society where everyone has the right to live, work and participate in the communities of their choice.

Kelvin Project

At the Kelvin Project staff aim to offer a safe and supportive environment for young unaccompanied asylum seekers aged 16‑25 years, facilitating their transition into independent living while ensuring their safety and well‑being. Staff strive to empower the people we support to make informed decisions about their futures and create a respectful community where positive choices are encouraged and supported.

Meet H

Help transform lives like H.

My name is H. I'm 17 years old. When I arrived in the UK, I had no money, food or belongings. I was driven in a taxi from England to Scotland and dropped off at the Kelvin Project. I was very scared, didn’t know what to expect and couldn’t speak any English.

Staff at Kelvin were so welcoming and they had an interpreter at the project waiting on my arrival, which helped take away all my fears. Staff helped me to live independently; they are patient and kind in supporting me with my basic English skills. After a few weeks I started S6 at the local high school, I absolutely loved it, and my English language has come a long way. Staff are now supporting me in preparing to start college in September. I am so excited to start my next journey and hope one day with staff support to move to student accommodation.

Are you ready to make a real difference to me and people like me?
