Objectives

We are a not for profit organisation, with a yearly budget of around £200,000 per annum. We run a busy client facing service working with around 1000 clients per year. Our wide range of experience, drawing on the daily insights from those we work with, as well as the expertise of our staff, means that we are uniquely placed to provide unrivaled access and insight to policy makers, politicians and those with a positive and genuine interest in migration issues.

We are never afraid to speak out, to challenge discrimination, or to make those with power fully aware of the consequences of their decisions on the dis-empowered.
