Hackney Migrant Centre runs a weekly drop-in advice service with the help of our volunteers and professional advisers. Visitors to our service receive initial immigration, housing and welfare advice; as well as advice on accessing a GP and dealing with charges for hospital care. Outside the drop-in, we work with visitors to resolve the problems facing them.
We provide a welcoming environment to migrants, regardless of immigration status, nationality or current place of residence.
Our aims
- To provide advice and assistance to migrants on immigration, welfare or health issues
- To offer a welcoming environment to migrants and help reduce social isolation
- To publicise issues relating to migrants’ social and economic circumstances
“They listen to you, they give you advice, and introduce you to people who are going to help you with your issue. After that they kept referring me to different groups and that was so helpful”
