Kompasset – Kirkens Korshær

Rationale and aims

Kompasset – Kirkens Korshær provides counselling, translation, legal support and advocacy to vulnerable mobile EU/EEA citizens, including seasonal workers, who experience homelessness or unstable living conditions in Copenhagen. The programme aims to support seasonal workers who have lost access to legal employment or housing by helping them understand their rights, access job opportunities and navigate the Danish labour market. The goal is to  prevent social marginalisation.

Kompasset – Kirkens Korshær also cooperates with relevant authorities, with support delivered primarily through walk-in services and outreach activities where available.
