The Shaheed Udham Singh Welfare Trust story starts with the Indian Workers Association in 1938. Over 80 years later we continue the anti-racist tradition in the Midlands.
About our work

Immigration advice
Our advisers can provide high-quality legal advice on all immigration matters. We have been awarded funding to offer some work free of charge, but for other work, we offer a low-cost fixed-fee service at no profit to ourselves.
We have 20 years of experience in providing specialist Immigration advice. What help can we offer you?

Welfare benefits advice
Free workshops stepping into the archives of the Indian Workers Association (IWA). From storytelling of the historical climate in which the organisation emerged, including anti-imperial and anticolonial activism, to the forming of antiracist organisations and alliances in the UK, which would lead to race activists Claudia Jones collaborating and Malcolm X visiting.
We dig into why the IWA gathered in homes, took to the streets and agitated in their workplaces. What did they do and how did they do it?
