Cookstown Migrant Workers Interagency Forum
CWSAN in partnership with
Cookstown Local Strategy Partnership have over
this past two years attempted to engage both new
incoming migrants to the area and those agencies
who deal with the issues that they encounter.
After attending a minorities conference a forum
was set up which brought together all the
agencies in the area, from health to education
and advice services to housing. The group
recently held it’s first health and employment
rights open clinic and hopes to emulate the STEP
model in Dungannon where a worker’s forum and
individual groups have emerged as a result of
these clinics.
