57% of them consider that immigration is either good or neutral to the economy. This is higher than other age groups.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

The 2013 British Social Attitudes poll tells us that people under the age of 34 are the most open group to immigration:

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

The reality is that we host under 2% of the world’s refugee population & they make up a small proportion of the migrant population in the UK

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

@newhamunion We'll be holding an event soon to raise awareness! Using the material we've captured written and visual to tell stories!

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

@newhamunion Thanks for the RT. How can you help us to tell positive stories & raise awareness around the migrant community in the borough?

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

Furthermore, many people do not know the difference between migrant types (economic, refugee etc).

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

Misconceptions surrounding migration and the asylum system adds fuel to the fire.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

A study commissioned by Compas2, showed that public have more negative attitudes towards asylum seekers and low-skilled migrants.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

Additionally, migrants who came to the UK since 2000 are less likely to receive benefits or use social housing than people already here

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

Since 2000, migrants have made a net contribution of £25bn1 to public finances, a huge contribution to the economy.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

We want people to view migrants as human beings and not as a single group of people or stereotyped label.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

Routes to Roots @vinspired_teamv is about understanding our communities and being proud of our diversity.

[Team v Newham @TeamvNewham]

We will also discover the contributions migrants and non-migrants make that shape our communities.
