Haringey Migrant Support Centre (HMSC) opened in 2013 in response to concerns around the lack of immigration advice centres in north London and to fill the gaps left by crippling cuts to legal aid and public services.
Since then HMSC, located in Haringey — the fifth most ethnically diverse borough in Britain — has supported hundreds of migrants and asylum-seekers to access basic services, housing and immigration advice.
