Migrant Help exists to protect people affected by displacement and exploitation, helping them thrive as individuals and recover from their trauma.
We support those most in need and least likely to find support elsewhere, whilst aiming to bridge community gaps and bring services and support together.
We offer support and guidance to people seeking asylum, refugees and survivors of modern slavery across the UK. Whether someone has fled persecution, escaped from slavery or found themselves in a situation that they do not understand, Migrant Help offers advice, support and a place of safety.
We are proud of our diverse and committed staff team. We currently employ people from more than 40 countries. Many of our advisers come from refugee backgrounds and have gone through the asylum process or experienced human trafficking themselves. These dedicated people contribute their skills and experience to help us provide high quality, innovative services that seek to meet the needs of the vulnerable men, women and children we support.
Race Equality Foundation is a registered national charity which tackles racial inequality in public services to improve the lives of Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. We believe that everyone should be provided with the opportunities to flourish.
We do this by:
• Exploring what is known about discrimination and disadvantage
• Using that knowledge to develop evidence-based interventions to overcome barriers and promote equality
• Sharing this knowledge and good practice through educational and public activities and materials
• Working with national and local partners from the community, voluntary, statutory and social enterprise sectors and intervening in national debates impacting Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
We have delivered change through a range of ground-breaking projects, including:
• the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities parenting programme
• Pioneering research which saw us interview 38 Black and minority ethnic young disabled people to understand their experience of independence and independent living
• Work on improving blood pressure testing by African and Caribbean men through the use of community facilities such as barber shops
