Migrant community organisations: their role in promoting integration and social cohesion
13 May 2008 -10am – 1.30pm
ippr, 30-32 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7RA
In the UK there are many thousands of third sector organisations working with long-settled minority ethnic communities, as well as newly-arrived migrants including refugees. The activities of these organisations are varied, but many provide basic advice and social support for newly-arrived migrants. However, recent policy debates have questioned the continued support for organisations that work with a single community, arguing that the existence of these groups can accentuate cultural difference and social segregation.
Communities and Local Government are presently undertaking a consultation, Cohesion Guidance for Funders, which seeks views on the funding of organisations that work with a single community. This seminar presented research undertaken by ippr on migrant community organisations, integration and social cohesion.
