Thanks to match funding, eligible donations are still matched pound for pound (up to £250 per supporter)—meaning your gift can go twice as far.

Whether you can give £10, £25 or £50, every contribution helps us provide trusted advice, advocacy and community support.

Great news! Eligible donations to our Fair Work, Fair Futures campaign are being matched pound for pound by the Aviva Community Fund (up to £250 per supporter).

That means your donation could have twice the impact.

Whether you can give £10, £25 or £50, every contribution helps us support East and Southeast Asian migrant workers to access fair work, understand their rights and build more secure futures.

If you can't donate today, we'd really appreciate you sharing this post with friends and family ❤️

Within the Migrant Workers’ Rights Coalition (MWRC), SEEAC joined over 50 organisations to collective call for the government to cancel plans for “earned settlement” and guarantee settlement for all after no more than five years, introduce an accessible programme of regularisation, end tied and restrictive visas and immigration arrangements, make employment rights real for every worker, end the hostile environment, and place migrant workers and affected communities at the centre of policymaking.
For too long the UK immigration policy has increased migrant workers' vulnerability to exploitation, weakened labour protections, separated families, undermined wellbeing, and prevented many people from putting down roots and participating fully in the communities they call home. It has also harmed all workers by creating conditions in which exploitation can flourish, and labor standards are driven down.
It is our collective ambition to bring a just immigration system that upholds human dignity, equality, and rights.

A Summer Partner Yoga & Mindful Movement Experience

Celebrate summer with movement, laughter, and meaningful connection.

Bring your partner, best friend, sibling, or come solo—we’ll pair you up! Together we’ll explore playful partner yoga, mindful movement, and fun challenges designed to build trust, communication, and confidence.

No experience needed—just bring your curiosity, your summer spirit, and get ready to move, connect, and have fun! 

After playtime, we’ll gather together to share a delicious meal and celebrate our wonderful time together this month!

This month, we’ll be enjoying Som Tum (Thai papaya salad) and Pad Thai, two of Thailand’s most famous and delicious dishes cook by cooked by Jessica Acevedo Yanez

And of course, there’s one special treat we can only enjoy once a year—Mango Sticky Rice! Summer is here, and this beloved seasonal dessert has arrived again. 

We can’t wait to enjoy it with everyone! 

Spaces are limited, so please reserve your spot in advance.

Advance booking helps us keep track of everyone attending, prepare for the right number of families, and maintain a safe, welcoming environment for all children. For this reason, we are unable to accept walk-ins. Thank you for your understanding.

📖 Last week, Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) launched Women on the Move and the Movements They Build, a new anthology — and we were honoured to be part of it with chapter, “Growing, Learning and Navigating Alongside Each Other”.

Excited to sit alongside seven sister organisations: AsiaPacificMissionForMigrants , CDCP APS , MAP Foundation, Melissa Network , Association Mist , Serve the People Association - Taoyuan, Taiwan , and Tenaganita .

Last year, all eight of us gathered in person in Athens to work on this book together. 🌍

Huge thanks to Bandana at GAATW, our editor Vani, illustrator Rachel, and every contributing organisation — this book would not exist without you. 💛
