The Step Change consortium brings together eleven asylum and refugee support organisations and an Experts by Experience group working in Greater Manchester. This report brings together our findings from the past year over 2023/24 as well as recommendations for our work moving forward.
The Step Change consortium is a 3.5 year programme supported by the Lottery Community Fund which brings together eleven asylum and refugee support organisations and an Experts by Experience group working in Greater Manchester (GM). Through a programme of place-based and specialist service provision, sector development and advocacy, our joint purpose is to develop a joined-up and sustainable ecosystem of support for refugees and people seeking asylum in Greater Manchester.
In June 2024, facilitated by our learning partner MERL, we came together as a consortium to reflect on the work we have done over the past year, which is captured in this report.
