Micro Rainbow - Greater Manchester - Moving on Programme

After piloting and testing activities for over ten years, we have shaped an LGBTQI-refugee centred moving on programme.

This consists of one-to-one support to those who have recently become refugees in order to: • Obtain National Insurance numbers • Register with Universal Credit • Open bank accounts

Service includes:

Employability: Micro Rainbow works with various partners, including the third and private sector, to -

• Provide one to one support over a period of six to twelve months to prepare and review a moving on plan (e.g. to find employment)

• Organise workshops around CV writing and interview skills

• Facilitate job opportunities

Fellowship programme: This programme is exclusively for LGBTQI asylum seekers and refugees. It is designed to ensure visibility and leadership of people with lived experience within Micro Rainbow and the wider society.
