Sussex Refugee and Migrant Self Support Group

Sussex Refugee and Migrant Self Support Group: is refugees and migrants led support group which places individuals at the centre of their own legal, immigration and political struggles by rejecting traditional top-down advice models. Instead, we, migrants and refugees trapped on the wrong side of the Home Office, work collectively to fight for our right to remain. It is also a way of building community resilience.

Thousand for Thousand: Supports Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and Migrants who come here to make a new life for themselves but fall into destitution because of the UK’s 'hostile environment' for irregular migrants. The methodology is pretty crude. It denies people access to their basic needs. One big plank of that is limiting access to income and housing. There are probably over half million people in this position in the UK. T4K is looking for thousands of people who are willing to give as little as £1 a month to make a society that is welcoming to strangers. T4K uses that money to cover the housing costs of people Brighton who are homeless because of their immigration status. We also do one-off fundraising. 

We warmly welcome people with experience of fleeing conflict or seeking sanctuary to all of our meetings and events. We know that our movement needs to include people with different abilities and needs. If there are barriers to you attending our events, let us know and we will make the requisite changes.

If you would like to come to our next meeting, please contact us at brimigsol@riseup.net to find out when it is.
