Abstract
This article examines care in the context of a migrant-led non-governmental organisation run by and supporting London’s Latin American migrants. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article suggests that the non-governmental organisation can be best described as a ‘caring community’: it cares for migrants by helping them access their entitlements, information and care, while also fostering spaces where reciprocal caring relationships develop. This article concludes by arguing that examining care in the contexts of migrant-led non-governmental organisations can help us move beyond the tendency to confine care to the dyadic, unequal relationships dominating migration and care studies.
