Background

About Emily Wilson

I am currently employed as a Submissions Team Leader at Migrant Help. This role involves managing a team of Submissions Officers and helping Service Users to access and apply for Asylum Support. This support can be a variation of both financial and accommodation support which is provided to Asylum Seekers by the Home Office. Volunteering at a Dover-based charity named Samphire during my time in Sixth Form is what sparked my interest in issues surrounding migration and asylum seekers and influenced my choice of degree. I completed my BA International Relations and Development degree in 2022, in which I achieved a 2:1. During my degree I specifically focused on the topics of Migration, Genocide, the Middle East and Corporate Social Responsibility. My dissertation titled ‘Can we buy a better world in charity shops?’ discussed charity shopping as a form of ethical consumption and whether this helps solve the fashion industry’s corporate social responsibility to the environment.
