Civil Society EUSS Alliance

Through our coordination of the Civil Society EUSS Alliance, we aim to support the capacity of the sector working under a digital immigration system.

The Alliance comprises over 100 organisations from across the UK working nationally, regionally and locally that include front-line advisors, strategic litigators, campaign groups, policy experts, grassroots community groups and academics.

We support this community of practice, pooling the significant expertise, insights and experience of the group with a range of links to the Home Office, EU Delegation, the IMA, MPs and Local Authorities, as well as communities subject to the EU Settlement Scheme.

The purpose of the Civil Society EUSS Alliance is:

to gather evidence on issues emerging from a digital immigration system
to identify systemic problems that can be raised with statutory groups, e.g. Home Office, the EU Delegation, and the IMA
to provide support and access to experts for advisors across the UK
to spot trends that can affect the 6 million individuals living with a digital immigration status
to share concerns and case materials in other fora including policy advisors and parliamentarians, and EU embassies and consulates

What Civil Society EUSS Alliance members say

The alliance is a valuable resource, which insures our work on EUSS and EU citizens’ rights is informed and up to date. The information we hear at meetings often offers fresh perspectives and gives us new ideas of ways to work on EU citizens’ rights issues. The alliance also helps to keep us connected with other organisations across the UK.

The alliance has a strong membership with excellent knowledge and expertise. It could be a powerful and respected voice in advocacy and campaigning.

I find the Alliance meetings very useful for my work as the engagement helps me to understand the main issue faced by organisations with different focuses. I appreciate the effort that goes into organising and running the meetings and the ongoing efforts to maintain engagement and keep the meetings fresh.
