In 2024, MigrationWork was approached by Refugee Café, a charity focused on supporting refugees and asylum seekers through employment opportunities in the hospitality sector. MigrationWork assisted the board in outlining future options for the charity’s direction. Our consultancy included desk research, interviews with board members, and facilitating a focus group to explore the charity’s values, activities, beneficiary needs, and resources.

Through this process, MigrationWork helped the board clarify its priorities and identify potential pathways for the charity’s future. We provided insights into various models for sustainability and growth, ensuring the board had a clear understanding of the next steps. The consultancy resulted in a strategic discussion that empowered the board to make informed decisions on how to move forward, supporting the charity’s mission to create meaningful opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers.
