About the Worker Support Centre

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scotland based charity. We partner with people who have come to the UK to work on visas or temporary contracts. We provide advice to secure their rights, end exploitation, build collective power and drive lasting change together. Alongside other organisations and decision-makers we’re building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work – no matter our job or nationality.

WSC support includes advice, mediation, advocacy and assisted reporting to enforcement agencies. Our worker engagement informs policy change activity to address harms faced by those in high-risk work. In 2023 and 2024 WSC activities were targeted at workers in seasonal agriculture on the UK Seasonal Worker visa (SWV). More recently we have expanded our work to engage workers in health and social care and to advance care workers’ rights through worker education and power sessions.
