Hackney Migrant Centre Request

Organisation Description

What are they looking for?

HMC was established in 2007 to provide advice and support to migrants to help them
overcome problems with their immigration status and in accessing services. We
welcome all migrants, of any immigration status or nationality. As the environment
facing migrants has become ever more challenging, we have expanded the scope of our work. Our staff team has increased from one part-time worker in 2007 to a team of
eight people and we now have a budget just under £450,000 a year.
We provide legal advice and casework support on immigration, housing and welfare,
working with visitors to resolve the problems forcing them into destitution and
homelessness, such as insecure immigration status and lack of access the public funds.
We also, in partnership with local organisations and a team of volunteers, provide wellbeing support and regular community building sessions, including advice and support dealing with charges for hospital care.
