The Migration Partnership Barnsley- MPB

12th November 2021 by ficheb

As we emerge from the pandemic, we are faced with pre-existing, entrenched and new
challenges amidst uncertainty. For the people in communities disproportionately
impacted by the pandemic including migrants, the effects remain raw and acutely
present.


In order to effectively engage and respond to the needs of the most vulnerable, but more
importantly transform the structures that exacerbate vulnerability and undermine
resilience, Migrant Action and its local partners including Feels Like Home, ELSH &
Polska Biblioteka are developing a new collaborative model- The Migration
Partnership.


The Partnership sees its primary role being to ensure sustainable collaboration,
effective communication and community engagement, building resilience and
enhancing strategic advocacy for migrants in Barnsley. Achieving these aims will
lead to attaining our goal of helping communities not only ‘bounce-back’ from the
pandemic but thrive beyond the pandemic. It will also enable meaningful integration
and stronger communities in Barnsley.


If you would like to know more about the Migration Partnership Barnsley, please

About Migrant Action

Migrant Action is an advocacy and rights-based organisation supporting migrants to feel welcome, access their rights and justice and to effectively integrate in the UK.  We help migrants through providing information, advice & guidance, advocacy support, access to legal immigration advice, ESOL & employability support, and other forms of practical assistance to ‘vulnerable’ migrants to ensure ‘rights’ awareness and access to mainstream services. Our model of support is holistic, person-centred and system oriented to ensure equity of rights and justice for migrants. In addition to our direct … Read more ..

Migration Partnership Barnsley: Engaging Communities, Transforming lives 

Migrant Action and its partners have launched a new initiative aimed to better engage with and serve migrant communities in Barnsley.  Covid-19 disproportionately affected minoritized communities especially irregular migrants and people with no recourse to public funds. The pandemic also exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and fragile community structures and relationships that undermine effective engagement, access, and representation of migrant communities. 

The Migration Partnership (a collaboration of Migrant Action, Feels Like Home, The Polish Library and ELSH) offers a migrant-led infrastructure for the sustainable engagement and meaningful participation of migrant communities in mainstream activity.    The new Multi-agency Hub drop-in (weekly) at Hope House Church will allow a practical and safe space for collaborative service delivery and better access of holistic service provision in Barnsley. It will also act as a local Connection hub for strengthening relationships across services, migrant communities and local authority through conversations and better understanding of the realities of migrant and local communities.  Overall, the multi-agency hub acts as a catalyst for change by improving access to services, ensure effective integration and stronger communities and transforming lives. 

Huge thanks to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for endorsing and resourcing the work of the Migration Partnership.
