Apply to become a We Belong Co-Producer
We are seeking 3 Co-Producers based in either London or 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 332,000 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.

Be part of our Core Group or Volunteer with Us
Our Core Group engages in the organisation's decision-making. Each core group member has lived experience of the UK’s immigration system. Being a part of the core group gives you access to internal opportunities and priority for events. If you are a young changemaker who believes in lived experience activism and wants to work with us to improve systems, then this group is for you.
- We also offer Structured Volunteer programmes if you would like to get involved in our work and support our projects and campaigns.
- If you are looking for a Work Experience Placement, we also offer opportunities across our projects and campaigns.
If you'd like to get involved as a core group member or volunteer, send us an email at info@webelong.org.uk, and our Youth Development Lead will get in contact with you!
Attend our gatherings
We host monthly in-person gatherings in London and Manchester, on the last Wednesday or Thursday of the month, inviting young people to gather and build friendships and a lasting community. We believe in the power of storytelling so you will always be able to connect with others and hear someone share their experience, a reminder of why we campaign for change.
We post about our gatherings every month on our social media, but be sure to take a look at Eventbrite, where you can sign up for our upcoming events!
