The Move-On Birmingham report
In Birmingham, the Local Authority funds the Refugee and Migrant Centre (RMC) to address the critical challenges faced by newly recognised refugees during the move-on period, a crucial transition from asylum support to mainstream services.
This report highlights the intersections of issues that create barriers for individuals, including unfamiliarity with the system, language difficulties, and digital exclusion, all of which hinder access to housing, employment, income, and essential services.
Support offered
RMC’s Move-On Project provides tailored support to ensure that beneficiaries understand their rights and entitlements while navigating the complexities of integration.
Through comprehensive assessments and multilingual guidance, RMC assists refugees in securing housing, achieving financial independence, accessing healthcare, and pursuing educational and employment opportunities.
Beyond preventing homelessness and destitution, the project enables refugees to become agents of change, individuals who drive inclusion, resilience, and progress within their communities.
As demand for effective support grows, this report underscores the importance of RMC’s interventions in helping refugees rebuild their lives and achieve lasting stability in the UK, while advocating for continued funding and resources to expand these vital services.
