We speak up for change
See the issues we work on.
Our mission is to speak up for and improve the lives of people in the UK.
We represent the voice of people in crisis to government. We produce evidence-based reports and policy recommendations. We regularly call for changes to legislation and policies that affect people who need our help.
We speak up for...
Supporting people in crisis
We are calling on all parties to back policies that support people in crisis. Here are our priorities for the coming year.
Improved responses to trafficking and modern slavery
Trafficked people should be given time, space and support to make informed decisions about their futures.
More health and social care funding
Everyone in the UK should get the health and social care they deserve.
More support when leaving hospital
There is a cycle of avoidable hospital admissions among vulnerable patients. This puts pressure on the health and social care systems.
Improving the asylum system
Refugees and asylum seekers deserve an asylum system that treats people with respect and dignity.
