Migration Matters EAST
Who we are
Background
​
Migration Matters EAST has been developed by GYROS from The Community Pathways Partnership (CPP), which is a four-year Lottery funded project comprising of three core partners – (GYROS, ACCESS and Keystone Development Trust) providing frontline delivery, research, monitoring, evaluation, learning function and strategic transformation expertise.
Over the last few years, GYROS has worked with a number of local and regional organisations to develop wider partnership bids and, through this contact became aware that other frontline, community-led, grassroots organisations could benefit from a central function that provides peer support for those in the lead, as well as practical expertise and shared knowledge.
​
Thus, we envisaged a regional 'hub' offering support, training and expertise to other organisations working with CALD communities and clients within the east of England.
​
In Autumn 2021 we secured funding from the UK Communities Foundation to develop Migration Matters EAST into a functioning entity. We plan to officially launch it later in 2022.
