Migrateful
Jess Thompson
Legal, language and social barriers mean finding work can be extremely difficult for many migrants. Being unable to provide for themselves and their families negatively impacts their financial situation, self-esteem and mental health.
Migrateful are a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) whose mission is to empower refugees and vulnerable migrants by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.
They support migrants with their wellbeing, employability and integration. This includes providing chefs with social networking opportunities, improved English language and communication skills, increased confidence, a source of income, and opportunities to celebrate and share their culture.

There was and still is a big gap between what the headlines, politicians and much of the general public say about refugees versus the reality of who these communities are and what they bring to our country. I wanted to explore ways to overcome this and get the British public to realise that migrants give us a lot to be grateful for and should not be seen as a burden.
