What We do

How do we support people in Immigration Detention?

Visits

Our network of visitors provide friendship and practical support to people who are living in detention and in prison in the East Midlands. While we do not provide legal advice, our volunteers offer practical information and signposting to a range of specialist services. And crucially, we provide emotional support to our clients – often acting in the place of family and friends, who may struggle to visit the centres we work in, due to their remote location.


Other volunteering roles

We value the wide  range of skills and our volunteers support people with leaflet drops, talking to groups, taking calls and supporting other volunteers. 


Advocacy

At the same time, MMS advocates for the rights of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and people in detention in the East Midlands. As members of the Association of Visitors to Immigration Detention network (AVID), we feed into their wider advocacy work that highlights the realities of immigration detention.

We also educate and inform the public about the historical and current experiences of people in detention, and the broader legal situation for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in the UK. By raising awareness of these issues, we aim to promote more tolerance and understanding in the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire areas.
