From Refugee to Citizen: ‘Standing On My Own Two Feet’

Research & Comment
Access to Primary Health Care for migrants is a
right worth defending
(Migrants Rights Network)
As the NHS faces up to the realities of the Government cuts, calls to restrict further migrants’ access to free NHS services, are growing. This is not something new, but the evidence suggests that
excluding migrants would actually increase costs, leave all of us at greater risk of ill health, and undermine the integrity of the NHS.
African Heritage in Birmingham
(CAASSUK)
The African Heritage Initiative is a unique and innovative project sponsored by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) with the aim of inspiring and empowering members of the African community in Birmingham
