Providing social, practical and emotional support to immigration detainees in Scotland

 
Scottish Detainee Visitors (SDV) is a registered charity that provides social, emotional and practical support to asylum and immigration detainees in Scotland. SDV volunteers visit detainees in Dungavel Removal Centre on Monday and Thursday evenings.
 
We aim to relieve the conditions of isolation and stress experienced by people detained by the immigration service, primarily at Dungavel Immigration Removal Centre, in South Lanarkshire.
 
For more information, download a leaflet, read our latest Annual Report or get in touch with SDV coordinator, Kate Alexander, using the contact details below.
