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.

Research and publications

Our research shines a light on issues happening in the UK and overseas, and helps to bring about change.
