Influencing Local and National Policy

We play an active role in shaping policies that affect migration, racial justice, health, and poverty alleviation.

Our work includes:

• Submitting data-driven policy briefings and consultation responses

• Engaging in dialogue with government officials, stakeholders and local communities

• Hosting forums to centre the voices of those most affected

• Offering clear, evidence-based recommendations to influence decision-making

This work ensures that policy change is informed by the people it impacts the most.

Centre Lived Experience

Lived experience is at the core of our advocacy. We actively involve service users in shaping our campaigns and priorities by:

• Holding regular consultations to inform advocacy materials

• Featuring service user voices in public forums and campaign events

• Involving those with lived experience in campaign design and review

This participatory approach helps us ensure that our work is rooted in real stories and relevant challenges.

Cross-Sector Collaboration

We recognise that true change can only happen when we work together. Our partnerships with like-minded organisations enable us to:

• Share knowledge, resources, and tools

• Align our messaging for stronger, unified impact

• Coordinate advocacy efforts for broader reach and influence

Together, we are building a united front for change.

Challenge Stereotypes to Shift the Narrative

We are committed to challenging harmful stereotypes and reshaping the public narrative around migration and displacement. Through our media and communications work, we aim to:

• Share human-centred stories that reflect the resilience, skills, and contributions of migrants and refugees

• Work with local and national media to amplify underrepresented voices

• Increase engagement across social media and digital platforms

By doing so, we help create a more informed, compassionate and inclusive society.
