HSMP Forum is a not for profit
organization, a company limited by guarantee formed to assist and
support skilled migrants. The organisation made enormous contribution in
issues related to skilled immigrants. It represents immigrants of
all nationalities predominantly from non EEA countries. It works closely
with various bodies and organisations.
The organization is not against Government policies but is against
application of policies contrary to basic notion of fairness and
equality and undermines planned lives of immigrants.
Aims & Objectives

implemented to disadvantage immigrants.

nature that would help towards alleviating Deprivation and disadvantage.
The HSMP Forum
is an independent organization which campaigns for the welfare of
immigrants in the UK. Although, we lobby with the government, various
parliamentary and equality bodies, at times these bodies listen, but at
other times they do not appear to hear us.
We
take legal action as a last resort when we exhaust all other avenues and
if
the unfairness
is
overwhelming. The organisation is led by
the committee. The committee members work on a non-remunerative
basis. The committee is further supported by volunteers. The team
members as a whole belong from diverse backgrounds. The team regularly
meets / interacts and decides about the organisation's campaigns and
other activities. The organisation provides an online platform for its
members to communicate and raise their issues. The online forum is an
electronic means which is convenient, efficient and effective for
regular interaction and coordination which is well utilised by the
members, it also helps the organisation towards its campaigning work.
HSMP Forum (UK) Limited was formed by the parent organisation HSMP Forum
to conduct legal challenges. Association of Immigrants was started to
address wider issues. The committee is responsible for the functioning
of these organisations.
