Right to Remain

Right to Remain’s vision is a world in which everyone can exercise their right to remain with dignity and humanity, where they need to be. People leave their homes and come to the UK for many reasons. People are fleeing war, persecution and poverty; are coming to join family in the UK; are coming here to work or study. It’s not easy to make it here, and when people arrive the struggle isn’t over. People are faced with a Hostile Environment denying them basic rights, and major obstacles to establishing their legal rights to stay. Right to Remain works with communities, groups and organisations across the UK. We provide information, resources, training and assistance to help people to establish their right to remain. We challenge injustice in the immigration and asylum system. We produce accessible resources and deliver community training, so that people can navigate the UK asylum and immigration system and take practical action in their legal case (or in the case of someone they are supporting). Our best known resource is the Right to Remain Toolkit – a guide to the asylum and immigration system. We also regularly update our Legal Updates blog; and have worked with others to produce innovative online learning tools such as the Asylum Navigation Board and the Young Asylum Guide. We campaign for positive change in the asylum and immigration system. We run the These Walls Must Fall campaign, a network of local community campaigns working together to end immigration detention. We support the work of grassroots asylum and migrant groups across the UK, and bring communities together to share their struggles, expertise and learning. Charity number 1192934
