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.
