Morton Hall Visitors Group has provided emotional support and practical help to people detained indefinitely under Immigration Act powers at the remote Immigration Removal Centre in Lincolnshire for a decade. Since 2011, we have nurtured a group of skilled and dedicated volunteers, who have supported hundreds of people living in detention at Morton Hall.
Life inside a detention centre can be a lonely and uncertain experience. Being separated from friends and family can leave many people feeling cut off. It can also be a confusing time. If you’re feeling like this and would like to speak to someone, we are here for you!
Imagine being held in prison like conditions, indefinitely, because of your immigration status. Imagine being isolated from friends and family, with little certainty about the future. Imagine fleeing violence and persecution only to spend months or even years in limbo; a victim of the hostile environment.
Now imagine what a difference regular contact with a friendly, empathetic and non-judgemental person could make.
Life inside a detention centre can be a lonely and uncertain experience. Being separated from friends and family can leave many people feeling cut off. It can also be a confusing time.
We rely on grants from charitable trusts and from donations from members of the public.
Your donation will go directly towards training volunteers and covering overheads associated with providing emotional support and practical help to people detained at Morton Hall.
