Migration Impact Fund

The Migration Impact Fund was launched by the Government in April 2009. The Government aims to raise the fund from a levy on economic Migrants and foreign students.

The fund has been made available to Local Strategic Partnerships (in our case the Coventry Partnership) to promote innovate ways of managing the transitional impact of Migration on local services

Voluntary Action Coventry is the accountable body for managing the Migration Impact Fund on behalf of the Coventry Partnership with the aim to alleviate pressure on services.

The project through partnership working with other services and organisations, such as Coventry Ethnic Minorities Partnership, New Communities Forum, West Midlands Fire Service, Police, Housing, Primary Care Trust and the Friends Programme will deliver the following projects:

  • Community Based Champions
  • Issue Based Workshops
  • Cohesion Seminars
