Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) - Windrush

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.
