Migrants And Refugees
Migrants And Refugees
We’re building a powerful movement to welcome refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. We want to make sure that everyone in our country can live with dignity.
We believe that everyone, regardless of where they were born or their immigration status, deserve to flourish and live fulfilling lives in their homes and communities. But millions of people in the UK are suffering at the at the hands of unnecessarily harsh immigration policies that prevents people from integrating and contributing to their communities in the way they want to.
Faith groups, universities, charities, schools and more are working together to build power, develop partnerships and win change in their local communities. We've already won change such as reducing child Citizenship fees, securing Free School Meals for children with families on No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) status, reunited thousands of children with their families and pioneered the community sponsorship scheme, supporting communities to welcome refugees from all over the world to find safety in the UK
There are so many ways you can join our movement - from helping a refugee family resettle in their new home to lobbying the Government for equal and affordable access to Citizenship.

Pathways to Citizenship
Up and down the country, there are people living in our communities who have migrated to the UK and made this country their home. They have put down roots in Britain, and work, study, worship and volunteer here.
Though almost all will be eligible for British Citizenship eventually, the current pathway to citizenship is long, expensive and unfair.
Community Sponsorship
Communities across the UK have a proud history of providing sanctuary to those fleeing conflict and persecution in other countries. Community sponsorship schemes empower local people to help refugee families find safe homes and rebuild their lives in communities across the UK.
