Migrant-led organisations hold a wealth of expertise and trust into migrant communities. They are well placed to develop and offer training inputs and learning exchanges to support the work of mainstream advise services and support organisations.

Migrants are disproportionately affected by poverty in Scotland. Collectively we hold more answers to these challenges than we might think. Read our blog with @povertyalliance.org to find out more about MPS work in this area and our innovative policy laboratory
It's wrong that migrants into Scotland are more likely to be living in poverty than those who were born here. In her great guest blog Leri Price of @migrationscotland.bsky.social outlines how we can ease unjust burdens on migrant households.
