Projects
All Funding received from Funders are used to support Multiple Projects
Behind every Migrant Haven project is a simple idea: when people feel supported, connected, and confident, they are better able to build stable and meaningful lives in their communities.
Over time, our work has grown through listening to the needs of the people we support and responding with practical, community-led initiatives. From skills development and language learning to wellbeing activities and community celebrations, each project is designed to create spaces where migrants can learn, connect, and thrive.
So far, Migrant Haven has supported more than 200 individuals through a range of programmes and initiatives delivered across Greater Manchester. Through these efforts, we have delivered over 25 projects and community activities, each one focused on empowering people, building confidence, and strengthening community connections.
Some of these projects help people gain the skills they need to access employment. Others focus on improving wellbeing, reducing isolation, or helping people feel more confident navigating everyday life in a new country.
But the real impact of these projects goes beyond numbers. It can be seen in the friendships formed during a community walk, the confidence of someone speaking English for the first time in a group, or the excitement of a participant receiving their first job interview.
Every project represents people coming together, sharing experiences, and building stronger, more inclusive communities.

Finding employment in a new country can be one of the biggest challenges migrants face. Many individuals arrive with valuable skills and qualifications but often struggle to navigate the job market.
Celebrating together is an important way of building community and strengthening connections.Migrant Haven has organised several community celebration events, bringing people together to mark important cultural and seasonal occasions
At the start of the year, Migrant Haven brought together members of our community for a Vision Board and Goal Setting session, creating a space for reflection, inspiration, and planning for the year ahead
Work With Us on a Project
At Migrant Haven, many of our most impactful projects have started with a simple conversation or a shared idea. We believe that meaningful change happens when communities, organisations, and individuals come together to create opportunities that support people who need them most.
If you have an idea for a project that could benefit migrants or strengthen community wellbeing, we would love to hear from you. Whether it is a workshop, skills programme, community activity, wellbeing initiative, or collaborative event, we are always open to exploring new ways to support the people and communities we serve.
We also welcome organisations, community groups, and partners who would like Migrant Haven to host, co-deliver, or collaborate on projects that align with our mission of empowering migrants and building inclusive communities.
By working together, we can develop initiatives that create real opportunities, strengthen community connections, and expand the support available to those who need it.
If you would like to discuss a project idea or explore ways to collaborate, please get in touch with us. We look forward to hearing your ideas and working together to create positive change in our communities.
