We Belong is the UK’s first migrant youth-led charity. We believe that young people should be central and active participants in the conversation to create positive, impactful social change. We have a main base in London with a Manchester chapter to advance our work.
We are seeking 3 Co-Producers based in London and Manchester to help advance our work. Over the last 6 years, we have campaigned for shorter routes to settlement for young people who are socially integrated, including welcoming immigration rules that will benefit over 330,000 children and young people.
With your help, we can raise awareness of immigration rules and empower young people from migrant backgrounds so that they can regularise their status in the UK. We have a big task ahead of us and would love you to join us on this journey.
