Young Migrants Fighting for Change
We are Brighter Futures, a group of young migrants who work together to speak up for the rights of people like us. We want to change the way the UK sees young migrants, and challenge negative perceptions held by the public and those in positions of power. We are fighters for change.
What We’re Working On
Brighter Futures launched ‘Brighter Zine’ in May 2024.
As part of the ‘Our Home Our Rights project’ we made a series of sculptures to explore our experiences of housing and vision of the future.
Second year back at the London Child Poverty Summit, this time participating in the mental health panel.
Need support?
Brighter Futures is a welcoming environment where you can express yourself. Membership is open to young migrants aged 18-25.
