Refugee and Migrant Centre

RMC mission: To act with humanity and compassion – knowing that with the right support and a chance to rebuild lives, people can go on to thrive and be equal citizens. 

RMC vision: A society where newcomers feel welcome, valued and live dignified lives.

To fulfil the vision and mission, RMC offers advice and guidance in the areas of housing and destitution, training, employment, health and immigration.  RMC provides a free drop-in service with face-to-face, holistic advice, support and guidance to clients.

The Energy Redress Scheme is a project supporting clients during the on-going cost of living crisis.  Currently, 1 in 5 households across Birmingham and the Black Country, are living in fuel poverty and believe that small changes in how the use of energy and water, can make a big difference. Equipping clients with these skills can not only save them energy and money, but they may also experience some debt relief, need fewer food vouchers and have improved well-being.
