The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) aims to provide a consistently high quality consular service for British nationals overseas. To do this, the FCDO works in partnership with other organisations to provide assistance to distressed and vulnerable British nationals overseas who wish to return to the UK.

The FCDO provides consular assistance to a number distressed or vulnerable British nationals overseas, with over 50% of them returning to the UK through Heathrow Airport each year.

We invite proposals from organisations with relevant expertise to work with the FCDO’s Consular Directorate to provide:

  • specialist in-person support to vulnerable British nationals returning to the UK via Heathrow airport
  • specialist social work advice and support to consular staff on complex cases including mental health, child welfare, homelessness and destitution, older people and dementia

Email your completed project proposal form to Consular.GrantAgreementBids@fcdo.gov.uk by 5pm on 31 January 2022.
