Organisations

Free Movement

Free Movement was set up by Colin Yeo, an immigration barrister in 2007. He is now helped by editor CJ McKinney and a team of expert contributors. Its mission is to make good quality and clear information available to all those affected by immigration control: migrants themselves, their families, their lawyers and their judges. Immigration law has become very complex in the UK and changes very rapidly; Free Movement make it simple, or at least understandable. They provide blog posts, a load of training courses, a forum and we have partnered with Seraphus Solicitors to provide fixed price legal advice to members of the public.

Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants

JCWI works toward a vision of a better Britain in which immigration law and policy are based on sound evidence, promote the rule of law and are underpinned by respect for human rights and human dignity. In which no individual or family is made vulnerable or destitute or faces the denial of fundamental human rights as a result of immigration law or its application by challenging unjust laws and practices that restrict rights and lead to discrimination; influencing the debate on migration and fighting against the politics of hate and fear; supporting vulnerable individuals & families with reliable, high-quality legal advice; improving the quality of advice elsewhere through training and capacity building; building and supporting progressive movements at the grassroots and at the national level.

Migrant Voice

Migrant Voice is a migrant-led national organisation building a community of migrant voices to speak for themselves and call for justice for all. They put migrant voices at the centre of the migration debate by developing the skills and confidence of migrants, including asylum seekers and refugees across the UK.

 

Brigstow Institute/University of Bristol

 

Working with the Brigstow Institute at University of Bristol; Rissa Mohabir from Trauma Awareness; and graphic designer Michael Grieve, RFUK co-published a book called Kept Apart‘ exploring and highlighting the real impact of the Minimum Income Requirement on those navigating the spouse visa system.

 

Refugees at Home

Through our Ukraine support work we refer families to Refugees at Home. Refugees at Home was born in response to the many refugees and asylum seekers who have come to the UK in search of safety and a better life who have found themselves facing homelessness and destitution. They match generous hosts with a spare room with asylum seekers and refugees in need of emergency and temporary accommodation.

 

IMIX

IMIX believes that people who migrate and seek safety in the UK should be welcomed and valued within our communities. Everything we do seeks to challenge and humanise the often-hostile narrative on migration and displacement. There is a human story behind every negative headline and that story deserves to be heard.
