Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) - All4One Group

Last updated 27/11/24

The All4One youth group has been running since 2009 and brings together separated children and young people (aged 13-21) who are seeking safety in the UK. The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings. The group brings young people together over fun activities as well as developing skills such as confidence and leadership skills. The group is also a platform for young people to speak out and campaign about issues important to them as well as learn about their rights and understand the asylum process. The group will also organise the occasional trip or activity on a Saturday, for example to the cinema or football matches.
