Migrant Action volunteers: Making a real difference

Migrant Action volunteers: Making a real difference

At Migrant Action, we recognise the right, agency and desire that people have to participate in the life of their communities through volunteering. Volunteering is an instrument of solidarity and shared humanity. Migrant Action highly values immensely the diverse contribution volunteers make in every aspect of the organisation.

Migrant Action is committed in supporting, enabling, celebrating and increasing opportunities for volunteering. Volunteers are welcomed to apply their creative and diverse skills, knowledge and experiences to enhance the organisation’s work. Volunteers constitute a vital strategic partnership between Migrant Action and local community playing a central role in service delivery, fundraising, networking, communications and overall success.

Following a review of Migrant Action’s communication strategy, our volunteers are helping to set out and implement a new proactive communications and fundraising strategy for the organisation.

Also, Harriet joined a team of volunteers in helping vulnerable migrants in the refugee/migrant camp in Calais.  Harriet and the team spent 2 days in Calais working with Help Refugees to provide basic humanitarian assistance to the refugees and vulnerable migrants. Through volunteering within the organisation, in the community or abroad, our volunteers put in action the values, goals and vision of Migrant Action. We appreciate and celebrate the fantastic work of all our volunteers.

Partnerships and improving advocacy for migrants

12th September 2018 by ficheb

Migrant Action is an advocacy and migrant rights based organisation. Our mission is to empower migrants and reduce vulnerability. Through our work we uphold migrant rights, aim to increase access to justice and enhance capacity for integration. We work to overcome the effects of government policies that create ‘hostility’ and foster vulnerability amongst migrants. Migrant Action advocates and seeks to ensure migrant justice.

Migrant Action continually seeks collaboration and partnerships with other organisations so as to adequately meet the needs of migrants and its wider objectives. As such, in August Migrant Actionand Rights to Remain charityestablished a new partnership as both seek to grow their organisational presence and provide support to various categories of migrants in the Leeds/Yorkshire.

In an increasingly complex migrant environment, Migrant Action is committed to a proactive and humane approach to responding to challenges faced by migrants in order to avert vulnerability and crisis oriented interventions. Therefore, as the direct implications of Brexit and the government’s new ‘compliance’ environment policy begin to unravel in relation to migrants, the new partnership will enhance Migrant Action’s commitment and capacity to provide migrants with appropriate support in terms of more awareness, impartial guidance and advice, advocacy support, access to justice and better integration.

We look forward to a great and mutually beneficial partnership with Rights to Remain!

From the Director’s Desk: Christmas Message

23rd December 2017 by ficheb

It’s hard to believe that Christmas 2017 is just 3 days away!

Amidst the excitement, pressures, commitment and the temptation to over indulge as we engage in celebration with loved ones, it is also a time to reflect on the year that was for Migrant Action. Two words characterise 2017 for our organisation, Challenge and Promise

Increasingly, we have witnessed more migrants presenting in vulnerable circumstances with unresolved issues and complex needs. Migrants continue to experience destitution, limited access to basic information and guidance as well as restricted access to legal advice, advocacy, healthcare and welfare. Unemployment, limited knowledge and access to services and understanding of complex UK systems constitute key barriers to integration faced by migrants. Many vulnerable migrants continue to live a fringe existence susceptible to various forms of exploitation and degradation. These and more are largely the direct effects of deliberate policy making to create a ‘hostile environment’ for migrants. With limited capacity, Migrant Action is committed to working and supporting migrants to navigate and resolve these challenges.

Amidst the challenges, 2017 has been a year of great Promise thanks to our amazing volunteers including our steering committee, supporters, funders, partners and collaborators. In solidarity with migrants, they have contributed immensely in various ways to ensure that Migrant Action is stable and continues to offer safe space and reliable pathway for assisting vulnerable migrants and those who do not fit into neat migration categories. Because of your help, we are ending 2017 much stronger as an organisation than in 2016, thank you!

On the foundations of such Promise, we look to 2018 with entrenched hope and resolve to continue to challenge the ‘hostile environment’ whilst working to empower and support vulnerable migrants. We hope that as you reflect on 2017 you would consider supporting Migrant Action’s work in whatever way yon can. And together in solidarity, together we can change the migration story and make it a positive experience for all in our great city of Leeds.

Merry Christmas! Best wishes for the season and for 2018.

Fidelis Chebe
