The Migrant Destitution Fund (MDF) supports people in Greater Manchester forced into destitution by their immigration status. By providing cash grants, the fund helps people meet their basic needs, ease pressure on their mental health and restore dignity. MDF also advocates for a society where everyone is free to live with dignity as members of their communities – and we believe that the voices of people who have experienced enforced destitution should be central to advocating for this vision.
This role involves supporting people with lived experience to speak out and share their knowledge and experiences to raise awareness and advocate for change. It is all about connection, care, and making sure everyone feels supported and heard.
