Influencing and Campaigning

It is vital we not only secure rights and provide support for people in crisis, but we also challenge the root causes of the crisis. That’s why we influence and campaign on the issues and policies that bring people to our frontline services. Our approach combines conducting research, collaborating with other organisations, engaging the media, lobbying MPs, and mobilising the public to take action.

Shaping policy on homelessness and destitution

More than 50% of London homeless population are migrants. Our frontline services give us expert insight into how harsh immigration policies push people into homelessness and destitution. We share our expertise with policy makers, feed into policy briefings on migrant homelessness, and we collaborate with other organisations like NACCOM, Crisis, and Shelter to shape the way they support those facing homelessness and destitution.

Changing the narrative on migration

We work closely with international, national, and local media to centre the voices of migrants and refugees. We support people we have worked with to speak to the media and share their experience of the hostile environment.

Building a movement

We believe in a world where no one is marginalised or discriminated against because of their immigration status and all people live in safety, dignity, and respect. Slowly, together, we build this world piece by piece.
