GMIAU (Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit)

The All4One youth group has been running since 2009 and brings together separated children and young people (aged 13-21) who are seeking safety in the UK.

• The group brings young people together over fun activities as well as developing skills such as confidence and leadership skills.

• The group is also a platform for young people to speak out and campaign about issues important to them as well as learn about their rights and understand the asylum process.

• We will also organise the occasional trip or activity on a Saturday, for example to the cinema or football matches.

GMIAU provides support for the Windrush Generation, a group of people who arrived in the UK from Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1971. Their service helps individuals who face issues related to their immigration status, including those who may not have the right documents or who are struggling to obtain settled status.

GMIAU assists with legal advice, helping clients complete applications for citizenship or settled status. They also provide practical support, such as help with accessing healthcare and benefits. For example, if someone has been wrongly denied access to public services.
