MIDLANDS MIGRANT SUPPORT

1. Through a network of trained volunteers, we visit and support migrants in the Midlands who are in detention, whether they are detained under immigration powers or serving custodial sentences. 2. We advocate for the rights of migrants and detained people, while raising public awareness about their plight and the broader situation they face in the UK.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker and there are significant future grants due to be received
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
