Migrants Organise is an umbrella organisation for migrant and refugee organisations. They provide help and support to migrants and refugees looking to set up their own community groups, provide generalist advice and information on issues such as housing, immigration, welfare benefits and legal matters, and campaign on issues affecting migrants. The Transforming Lives project is a mentoring scheme for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who are particularly isolated, in need of extra support or dealing with mental health problems. Mentees are placed with a mentor who speaks the same language and who can help them to access services, learn new skills and build confidence.
