A community centre in London recently hosted refugees and migrants to allocate £500,000 in funding from the Borough of Sanctuary grants programme. This initiative aims to empower those with direct experience of the asylum process and migration challenges. Islington, recognized for its welcoming efforts, recruited a diverse panel, evenly split between genders and ages, to determine the fund distribution. The panellists, sharing their personal migration stories, ensure the funding assists those in greatest need, reflecting the challenges they have faced in adapting to life in the UK.
The initiative empowers migrants and refugees by allowing them to decide how £500,000 in funding should be allocated to support their communities.
The panellists, diverse in experience and background, offer crucial insights that ensure funding effectively reaches those facing the most challenges.
