Migrant Help

We are a non-campaigning organisation committed to providing support and guidance to migrants in distress and victims of modern day slavery known as Human Trafficking. In 2013 Migrant Help will reach its 50th year of providing an excellent service. In the early 1960's we worked mainly around the port of Dover and were born from the needs to support au pairs and other migrants that had been mistreated or abused. Due to our success as an organisation that provides a balanced and intelligent approach to addressing the risks and needs presented by the diverse challenges that can be faced by foreign nationals, our provision has grown considerably. Today we offer support, guidance and safe accommodation across the UK. We have strong European links and include EU migrants in our client group.
