If you need help

The Migrants’ Rights Network does not provide legal advice or direct support. Our work concentrates on campaigns, policy analysis, community development and advocacy; while we provide information and commentary on this website this does not, and is not intended to, amount to legal advice.

Below are a few links to other organisations and agencies that maybe able to provide you with direct support and assistance.

• Find a free legal aid lawyer: https://find-legal-advice.justice.gov.uk/
• If you need immigration advice please try the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association finder.
• The Law Society also has a register of Asylum and Immigration Solicitors.
• The Chartered Institute of Housing has advice on Housing Rights.
• If you have been refused asylum support (NASS), the Asylum Support Appeals Project provide free legal advice and representation to asylum seekers at the Asylum Support Tribunal, and run an advice line for advice agencies.
• Project 17 works specifically with families experiencing exceptional poverty to improve their access to local authority support. They also run an advice line for advice agencies.
• The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) regulates immigration advisers, ensuring they are fit and competent and act in the best interest of their clients. The OISC hosts a register of regulated immigration advisors, which allows you to find one in your area.

Press and media enquiries

If you are a journalist with a press inquiry, please contact [email protected] or call 07534488696. If you are unable to reach us, please do text or WhatsApp us.

As a small team, we receive a high volume of requests and unfortunately do not have the capacity to respond to student inquiries for university projects.

Academic and research enquiries

At the Migrants’ Rights Network, everything we do is guided by lived experience. We often advise academics and provide our expertise at panels. We use collaborative activism and legal avenues to create societal change, extending beyond the individual impact on migrants’ lives, to tackle oppression at its source.

We are a diverse team majority led by migratised people and People of Colour, essentially first and second generation migrants but there are also numerous other intersecting identities in our team including religion, nationality, age, gender, sexuality and those with disabilities. These wide ranging identities and experiences inform our work and expertise, particularly our work on language and how we challenge established norms and narratives. 

As a small team, we have limited resources and capacity, so we can only assist academics and PHD students, not undergraduate and masters students. If you are interested in working with us and wish to invite us to participate in your project or study, please get in touch with our Policy team by emailing [email protected]

If you feel your work would be of assistance to migrants and you have a national reach then please do contact us to discuss being added to this list: [email protected]
