What people say about us

Etmond and I worked together in our respective agencies to improve the lives of migrant families in the Buckinghamshire area. We developed at strong two-way referral partnership. During the year or so we worked together, we helped vulnerable families realise their rights and entitlements and improve their lives in a tangible ways. We helped them access realistic immigration advice through pro bono partnerships; advocate for accommodation and subsistence and champion their best interests. During this time, Etmond demonstrated numerous qualities, including:

– knowledgeable around immigration and families with NRPF

– caring and compassionate about the migrants community

– great attention to detail

– acutely aware of child protection and approachable for advice on these matters

– following data protection diligently

– always placing clients at the centre of the work he does

I hope to work in partnership with Etmond again in the future. Champions of the rights of vulnerable migrants and their protection.
