About We Belong
Our Mission:
We Belong is more than a charity—it's a force for change. We've already achieved significant victories, from challenging unfair immigration policies to securing scholarships for deserving young people. In 2021, We Belong’s work contributed to a new shorter route to settlement being introduced. Young migrants who are fully integrated in the UK now have five-year route to settlement, rather than the previous 10-years. It’s estimated that that over 300,000 children and young people could benefit from this policy change.
Now, we're on a new mission: to ensure that every young migrant has the opportunity to thrive in the UK.
What We Offer:
🔹 Immigration Support: Legal advice, training, and resources to empower young migrants.
🔹 University and Career Support: Guidance on applications, scholarships, and career pathways.
🔹 Leadership Development: Mentorship programs to nurture the leaders of tomorrow.
🔹 Engagement Opportunities: Join our outreach and community engagement efforts.
🔹 Safe Space & Community: A supportive network for guidance and connection.
