Migrants’ Rights Network

The need for the Migrants’ Rights Network was identified through discussions and research undertaken by the Barrow Cadbury Trust in 2005, with the organisation’s public launch in 2006.

Since then MRN has been building up a UK-wide network of organisations working in support of the rights of migrants with regional networks established in Scotland, Wales, North West England, the West Midlands and London.

MRN undertakes a range of activities including research on immigration policy and campaigning to influence policy. They work for a rights-based approach to migration, with migrants as full partners in developing the policies and procedures which affect life in the UK.

The Trust supports the core costs of MRN. We believe their work is vital in providing a strong and well evidenced intellectual view on migration and more specific areas such as regularisation of undocumented migrants.
