Impact Report 2021/22

This report seeks to showcase the stories that lie behind the numbers. We hope to share the real-life outcomes behind the outputs in our work: supporting and empowering our clients, working collaboratively with the sector to actively support a more compassionate public narrative about our clients and to truly implement a lived experience focus in the delivery of our services.

Accounts 2021/22

2021/22 has been a year of unprecedented challenge for all charities working within the sector. As one of the leading charities for people seeking asylum in the UK, Migrant Help has been at the forefront of providing immediate and targeted support to refugees and their families, through every stage of their asylum journey. During the year, Migrant Help staff supported over 81,000 people seeking asylum, 1900 survivors of modern slavery and more than 5,000 vulnerable EU citizens, an increase of 39% over last year. We increased the depth and scope of our activities including the Hong Kong welcome programme. We introduced co-production in our resettlement services, bringing together clients (experts by lived experience) and staff (experts by work experience), to help develop and design our services. The staff and trustees of Migrant Help and Clear Voice remain committed to our core objectives and ensure that the wellbeing and needs of our clients remain at the heart of all that we do.

The challenges of 2020 were greater and more far-reaching than we could ever have anticipated. Migrant Help had to adapt quickly, manage increased volumes, support our staff through changing times, and protect the wellbeing of our clients. Our focus shifted to maintaining operational delivery during the Covid pandemic.

Impact Report 2019/20

In January 2019, we were thrilled to be awarded the AIRE (Advice, Issue Reporting and Eligibility)contract by the Home Office. This new contract allows us to take a more holistic approach to assist asylum seekers. We hit the ground running with an intense period of transition and preparation. During that time, we focused on: developing existing partnerships with accommodation providers as well as establishing new ones, preparing our technology and IT systems and recruiting and training brilliant new team members.

2019/20 was an extraordinary year in Migrant Help’s history. We have grown significantly in size as a result of new and expanded services coupled with higher demand for our existing provision. We have developed a new organisational strategy for 2020-23. And towards the end of the year we had to react and adjust our services in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
