The Way We Work

  • Advocacy Clinics: 
    • We run weekly sessions in Leeds and Barnsley on Thursdays and Fridays where we deliver face-face advice, guidance and practical support to clients. 
    • Due to the lockdown, we are working remotely. We also respond to telephone and online (emails, social media) enquiries when possible.
  • Partnerships: 
    • We work collaboratively across sectors with other organisations to ensure we reach out widely to those who need our support.
    • Through collaboration and partnership working, we share resources, good practices, challenge structural injustice and influence system change.
    • Migrant Action’s ‘Strengthening Hands’ partnership strategy, enables us to support and strengthen service delivery and organisational development of other small grassroots and migrant led organisations.  
  • Capacity Building:
    • Building knowledge, skills and resilience is central to our overarching access to rights and justice strategy.
    • Many grassroots organisation are committed to responding to emergencies hence unable to afford time and resources for capacity building and organisational and strategic development. 
    • We facilitate a range of activities that enhance performance, networking, service delivery, resilience and system change.
  • Research: 
    • Our advocacy and structural change work is underpinned by research based activitiesundertaken in collaboration with partnersincluding academia.
    • These provide empirical evidence of structural injustice and systemic violence inherent in immigration policy making that negate the rights, justice and humanity of migrants. Subjecting these systemic failings to scrutiny is integral to our strategic advocacy for systemic and social change. Examples of our research include;

About Migrant Action

Migrant Action was established in 2016 as an Advocacy and Rights based organisation providing information, guidance, advocacy support and direct practical assistance to ‘vulnerable’ migrants. Migrant Action works with migrants who have fallen through the cracks of the immigration system including (but not restricted to) stateless people, those who have been unable to regularise their status and those on temporary visas. We work to ensure equity of rights and justice for migrants, and although the primary focus of our work is not with asylum seekers and refugees, we do signpost them to appropriate … Read more ..
