Everyone deserves the chance to live free from abuse. Yet for migrant women with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF), leaving an abusive home can mean facing the very real risk of homelessness.

"Courage" means different things to different people. Nasima and her mother, finding their footing in a new environment, and Liew, who continues to support others through his role at RMC and by being a dedicated blood donor. 🩸 These stories show just two examples of real courage in the community

This year's Refugee Week theme is Courage. Courage isn't just a grand gesture; it’s the daily act of navigating a new system, learning a new language, and building a new future from the ground up. At RMC, we are honored to witness this courage every single day in the people we support.

What better way to round off another #VolunteersWeek than with our very own Volunteer & Training Manager! Claire’s role sits at the centre of the RMC volunteer programme.

Every volunteer has their own story and reason for getting involved. For some, it’s about gaining experience, for others it’s building confidence or finding a sense of purpose. Whatever brings them here, they all make a real impact. #VolunteersWeek

At RMC, we see integration as a two-way street. It’s about new neighbours bringing their skills and cultures, and the West Midlands opening its arms in return. We are proud to be part of a region that chooses kindness.

RMC is powered by dedicated people who make a real difference. For #MillionActsOfHope, we’re shining a light on two members of our team, ESOL volunteer Susan and RMC Caseworker Liew. Alongside RMC colleagues, they support thousands of people each year to find safety, stability, and a new start.

It has been years since the Windrush scandal broke, but for many, the impact is still felt every day. Many people were left with no proof of residency, costing people jobs, homes, and even their liberty.

We are deeply disappointed by the reporting in the BBC investigation into the alleged false domestic abuse claims made by migrants to obtain leave to remain. It presents the actions of a small minority as indicative of a wider trend and implies the existence of a large‑scale, systemic problem.
