Welcome to the June edition of Macc’s Policy and Influence Shorts!
In this special issue, we are celebrating Refugee Week 2024 by placing the spotlight on Greater Manchester’s asylum and migration sector, and the amazing work done by VCSE organisations within it. We have put together interviews and stories from organisations working with asylum seekers and refugees, reports on the asylum and migration sector in GM, and information on how you can get involved this refugee week. We are also launching our 'What Macc Stands For Statement' on sanctuary seekers, have a read below!
For Refugee Week 2024, we are continuing our support for the Fair Begins Here campaign, calling for a fair new plan for refugees from the next UK government. We have added our name to the Fair Begins Here Promise from Together With Refugees and pledge to take action to win a system that is fair, just and compassionate. If you want to join us in signing this promise, follow the link here.
As always, we wish you a peaceful and eventful month ahead. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for any policy-related inquiries, suggestions, or to share any events you'd like us to circulate. We hope you find this month’s Shorts useful and informative!
Best wishes,
Josie, Anna, Milly, Zara and Aaron
