We Belong works with 1,300 young people around the country and we use our own lived experience as young migrants to raise awareness of how the current immigration system affects young lives among policymakers.
We raise awareness of how the current immigration system affects young people’s life chances, as well as their ability to secure and maintain their status, and co-author recommendations for change.
Main aims of our parliamentary work are:
- To foster relationships with parliamentarians to aid our campaign goals calling on the government to introduce a shorter and more affordable route to settlement.
- To raise awareness of how the current immigration system affects young people’s life chances, as well as their ability to secure and maintain their status
- To work with young people on a one-to-one basis and equip them with the tools necessary to change the status quo and interact with government so they are able to initiate conversations with Members of Parliament, using their own stories to humanise the debate around immigration
