Partnerships
Develop links and partnerships with other organisations to enable effective joint working.
Collect information, statistics and case studies on destitute migrants and the issues they face for the purposes of improving service quality and to meet the requirements of funders.
Contribute case studies and statistical data to relevant policy/strategic legal work carried out by HMC and other partner organisations.
