Additional support available via Strategic Migration Partnership (SMPs) Welcome Hubs

A network of ‘Hong Kong Welcome Hubs’ has been set up across the UK. These are hosted by existing ‘Strategic Migration Partnerships’ (SMPs). There are 12 SMPs across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland (please see the map below). SMPs have a coordinating and supporting role in delivering key national priorities on migration across the UK and play an integral role in the delivery of the Hong Kong UK Welcome Programme and VCSE projects.
