This report documents the lived experiences of 24 men and women who have found themselves destitute following the asylum process in the North East of England. The aims of this research were:• to document the lived experiences of people in the North East of England who find themselves destitute following the asylum process .• to uncover the ways in which they find the strength to survive. Peer researchers enabled accounts of destitution, coping and surviving to be collected and the findings help to illuminate the multiple ways that people find strength to cope with destitution in a country not of their birth. Recommendations are given for policy, practice and future research.<br/
