We are proud to share the release of a powerful new short community film, Living With No Recourse: Voices From the North East, created by the No Recourse North East (NRNE) Lived Experience Group, with production support from SHMU.

This film highlights the real, everyday impact of No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF), a policy often hidden in legal language yet deeply felt in the lives of individuals and families in our region. Through personal testimony and collective reflection, the film centres the voices of people with lived experience of NRPF, highlighting resilience, barriers to support, and the human cost of restrictive immigration policy.

The film reflects our shared commitment to: Amplifying lived experience, challenging misinformation, influencing policy and practic and promoting dignity, access to rights, and social justice 

We warmly encourage partners, practitioners, community groups, and policymakers to watch, share, and use the films as learning and conversation tools.

If you would like to:

• Arrange a screening

• Host a discussion session

• Or explore co-facilitation with members of the Lived Experience Group

Please get in touch with us; we would be pleased to collaborate.
