Amber Initiatives

The objectives of the company are:

• The provision of a high-quality information, advice, and guidance service, as well as practical support and skills assessment and development for people from disadvantaged backgrounds,.
• To facilitate, where possible, the integration of migrant workers with the host community, promoting social inclusion and community cohesion.
• To identify both beneficial and problematic issues arising from migration to the UK.
• To work in partnership with appropriate statutory, private, and voluntary agencies to achieve common aims in building an inclusive society.

Amber Initiatives's mission is to bring about change to improve the lives of people facing severe and multiple disadvantages. By this, we mean people who are experiencing a combination of severe social harms such as poverty, discrimination, social exclusion, racism, and abuse. The company's activities focus on reducing the isolation of migrants and their vulnerability, promoting integration, and fostering community cohesion.

The vision of Amber Initiatives is to contribute to the development of a participative, tolerant, and inclusive society, free from discrimination, racism, and extremism, through education, culture, social inclusion, and community engagement.

The Information, Advice, and Guidance Service is Amber's core operation and is provided via a well-established drop-in centre that is a hub for community activity.

We provide advice and consultancy support on a wide range of issues, including employment, housing, finance and benefit advice, education, and health-related advice.

The organisation currently has over 6,500 service users. We are part of the professional sector that works with immigration, integration and community cohesion, with strong links to statutory bodies and other support structures. Amber has a proud record of cross-sector and partnership work.
