Citizens Advice Bureau
Project: Immigration Advice Service
Main Sector: Community Health and Well-being

The CAB informs, advises and advocates for those who use its service. More than two thirds of CAB's clients locally are migrants. 60% of its clients are under 39.
CAB is seeking funding from Impact100 to employ a Licensed Immigration Advisor 18 hours per week for 2 years to run an Immigration Advice Service, modelled on Community Law. The employment of a Licensed Immigration Advisor would meet a proven need for a free specialist advice service in an increasingly complex area of the law.
That person would work in three different ways to:
a. triage complex immigration matters referred to the CAB and provide free advice to those clients;
b. mentor and provide professional development in immigration for CAB's volunteer interviewers; and
c. run workshops for small business owners regarding their responsibilities to their migrant workforces, helping them to get it right.
