Activities

Our mission is to support migrants and disadvantaged Britons to access employment justice, and improve their social mobility. To achieve this we: (1) provide free and confidential legal advice; (2) provide training, tools, and public-facing resources that empower communities; and (3) publish robust research and policy recommendations, that challenge the root causes of injustice in the long-term.

Objects: The charity's purpose is to prevent and relieve poverty for the public benefit, by breaking the vicious cycle of precarious work (being employment which is low wage and low protection and offers no job security), insecure housing, and social isolation which affects vulnerable people, particularly migrant and ethnic minority workers, in insecure jobs in the UK. This is by:(a) assisting people who are in, or at risk of, precarious work with information, advice and casework on how to access fair and lawful employment, immigration status security, financial assistance, and other necessary conditions of social mobility; (b) conducting research and evidence-based campaigns for fairer employment, better social integration, and social mobility; (c) raising awareness of the dangers of precarious work and social immobility, by engaging relevant stakeholders in the business, public, and third sectors.
