Current Challenges
Wraparound services for Asylum Seekers are fractured, inconsistent and incomplete… stinting potential for recovery, learning, integration and preparation for settled, flourishing futures.
For Asylum Seekers
-
Fragmented, inconsistent support leaves people underserved and further alienated.
-
Loss of purpose, skills and time erodes hope and readiness for UK life.
-
Poor preparation reduces chances of integration and increases long‑term dependence on the State.
For the Home Office
-
Limited visibility into claim validity, suitability for leave to remain, and ongoing needs undermines sound, timely decisions.
-
Operations are already stretched and under intense scrutiny, compounding delays and inconsistency.
-
Poor integration drives rising costs across health, housing and policing, and fuels public backlash against government.
For British Society
-
Social cohesion is strained when people arrive unassimilated and ill‑prepared, making welcome harder in practice.
-
Public willingness to be tolerant and welcoming erodes amid visible integration failures.
-
Vast human potential goes unused instead of contributing economically and civically, a loss compared with historic immigrant contributions
dHub Solutions
dHub app, offered to Asylum Seekers upon arrival, will address these challenges head-on. Multiple daily sessions on dHub, guided by Agentic AI Avatar ‘Eleos’, will directly improve users’ language fluency, psychological wellbeing, integration prospects, Home Office relations and wellbeing monitoring. Re-injecting purpose, progress and hope into users’ daily lives, will lead to dramatically better outcomes for the state and society as a whole and flourishing futures for these displaced people.
Meet Eleos*
Our Agentic AI Avatar guide will provide ongoing contextual and individual support for each user, in their native tongue if appropriate to begin with. Eleos is the personification of dHub. She’ll greet users each login session, and recommend the activity offering the most value in that moment, depending on previous usage behaviour and ongoing needs.

English Mastery
While Asylum Seekers currently wait up to 6 months for any English tuition (and then somewhat limited), dHub will offer this essential service from day one. We’ve partnered with Perfectly Spoken, a UK Govt approved provider, to offer hundreds of lessons and modules designed to advance users to C3 (high school level) proficiency. Improved English skills will unlock countless doors of opportunity.
Mind our Recovery
Our specialised Gen-AI Avatar Salus* will provide each user with daily counselling, to help overcome and recover from the ordeals they suffered through their displacement in the first place. Safeguarding is dHub’s utmost priority. This is ensured by hiring professional human psychologists and counsellors to review weekly summaries of each user’s progress, and offer direct video support through the App for those most in need.

Status Update
Each Asylum Seeker’s relationship with the Home Office is precarious and asynchronous. dHub’s Status module will address this by offering a clearer line of communication between the user and the UK government, advising on their current status, rights, meeting timings, and legal advice, to rebalance this relationship and inform users about what to expect, how to prepare and a clear understanding of how to best manage and advance their claim towards Refugee Status .
Together Again
Isolation and boredom are the conditions most commonly reported by UK Asylum Seekers, and over time can only exacerbate issues from which they already suffer. dHub’s Integration module is similar to Meetup in helping gather members of this cohort together in person to connect, share, laugh, and re-establish common humanity and trust in other people. Integration will help users find and attend gatherings arranged by others (including access to local community activities), and then invite them to instigate their own. dHub will offer 50 pre-loaded event types at launch, with many more user-suggested event types to follow.
Wellbeing Monitored
There’s no management without measurement, and this especially goes for dHub users’ safety, health, comfort, and hope. The Wellbeing module offers periodic and timely questionnaires probing each user’s health, accommodation, food, comfort, safety, community, family, progress and overall psychological health. This offers Local Authorities and the Home Office far deeper insights into the wellbeing of people under their charge, and Team dHub insights into the effectiveness of our platform.
Engagification
Sure, its a made-up word, but ‘Gamification’ risks trivialising what most Asylum Seekers have suffered, and the importance of the support that dHub’s offering. Based on the Duolingo model of encouraging user engagement, dHub awards ‘Engagement Tokens’ (earned through each dHub activity) and offers weekly Challenges, Friends Quests and Daily Streaks to keep users engaged and benefiting from the platform, and rewarded for continuously coming back.
