M is a teenager who came to the UK as an unaccompanied child and is currently appealing against a rejection of his asylum claim. He has just been placed in a hotel in west London, but is not receiving any financial support. To progress his appeal, M needs to communicate with his solicitor in south London, and for his mental health, it is important that he keeps in touch with the few friends he has made in London. To be able to make phone calls and to use buses would make a huge difference to M.
