Migration programme

Current funding

Our migration programme is currently closed to new applications until 2027. This is because our budget is committed to support ongoing partnerships while we undertake a regular five-year strategic review.  

While we recognise that this will be disappointing for the wider sector, we took the difficult decision that we needed to provide our current partners with stability during this period.

About the migration programme

Our migration programme is supporting work that aims to: 

• Inform public policy, promote workable policies in relation to immigration and belonging and promote the fair and dignified treatment of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. 

• Broaden and deepen the public debate on migration and integration and ensure that it draws on shared values as well as evidence 

• Promote greater understanding within communities, with a focus on challenging extremism, prejudice and discrimination as they affect asylum seekers, refugees and migrants. 

Programme focus

• The programme focusses on policy, campaigning and communication, supporting campaigners, organisers, policy researchers and civil society groups working mainly at national level, individually and in coalitions.  

• It also supports work around how policy and practice affect different groups in different ways, as well as how characteristics such as race, gender, and immigration status intersect.   

• We have a longstanding commitment to racial and gender justice, addressing racism, prejudice and extremism, as they relate to migration.  

• Lived experience is integral to long term, systemic change.  We are committed to ensuring that those with direct experience of the system are represented throughout the immigration movement, particularly in leadership positions.
