We are delighted to be launching a new initiative to establish a Migrant Advisory Group that will help to shape our work, and that of the wider support sector in the region. It will be comprised of members with personal experience of migrating to the UK.
Members will be fairly renumerated for their time and work with the group, regardless of their status.
The Group will be central to guiding the work of our Regional Migration Network, which brings together organisations to discuss joint working and develop responses to key priorities. It will ensure that our work, and that undertaken by the Network, is aligned with the needs of migrants.
This approach will ensure that migrant lived experience is integrated into our policy work and reflective of the needs of the communities we work with.
We are now recruiting for membership of the group with a view to meeting from late October 2025. It is anticipated that the group will meet every three months.
There will be several online awareness sessions held so that those interested in joining can find out more about our plans and ask any questions.
