Eid al-Adha Mubarak! 🌙 May this celebration bring peace, hope and welcome to families across the UK and globally. 🌍🧡

Stitch by stitch, we're sewing welcome into the social fabric of our great city. 🧡🪡 Our Co-Chair of Trustees @cameronboyle95.bsky.social on why this growing movement is a source of hope 👇 #MillionActsOfHope

Delighted to be part of the #MillionActsOfHope campaign. 🤳 With right-wing populism everywhere you look, it's hard to remember that solidarity is still the majority. But the movement of welcome in Manchester - driven by @manchestercos.bsky.social - truly gives me hope. ⤵️

Greater Together Manchester's 5-a-side football club has been running every Tuesday evening for 4 years⚽ "It brings hope to our members as it is not only an activity that helps improve physical health and mental wellbeing, but it is also a space of community and connection." 1/3 #AMillionActsofHope

Three people seeking sanctuary are known to have taken their own lives in Sheffield within less than a year. But with no official national register documenting deaths of people in the asylum system in the UK we may never know the true number. www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-n...

The Telegraph is attacking schools for reading books that encourage understanding. Stories have always been how children learn to care for others. Show them that most people think that refugee kids deserve compassion & understanding - please support our work: www.justgiving.com/charity/city...

Today the Government pledged another £662m of YOUR money to fund violent tactics by French police on our borders. Tactics that we already know cost lives, traumatise children, and utterly fail to prevent crossings. We must stop funding violence. Public inquiry now.

Say it louder for the people at the back.

Twenty years in limbo means never truly knowing you're safety, never really being able to settle and become a full part of a community. No one benefits when we lock refugees and other migrants out of belonging. Sign the petition now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

Yesterday morning at least four people were killed whilst attempting to cross the English Channel. Our thoughts are with their friends, family and loved ones - and with all those forced to risk their lives seeking safety. Read the statement here - www.humansforrights.org/blog/2026/4/...

Join us at the St Thomas Centre, Manchester, on Tue 28 Apr 2026 to celebrate the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group’s (MUARG) 10‑year anniversary — a decade of collective research, partnership, and action to make cities better places to grow older!

The asylum reforms are regularly making the front pages. But behind the headlines are real people, and there will be real consequences. So refugee women in our network have come together to share their thoughts. 🗣️"These policies are killing us." www.refugeewomen.co.uk/consequences... 1/🧵

Once again, people have lost their lives and lost their loved ones due to the total failure to provide safe routes. How many more people will be killed before our government takes action? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1/2 Under the UK–France deal, the Home Office has held 76 age-disputed children in detention - a sharp rise from 28, our last documented figure in February. Children are often held in small cells alongside unrelated adults and at risk of the use of force. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The Charity Commission has confirmed we were subjected to a misinformation campaign - and cleared us of all allegations. Read the CC statement: www.gov.uk/government/n... Read our statement: cityofsanctuary.org/2026/04/07/c...

Yesterday 100s of people from across the UK came together in Parliament to meet with their MPs about the Govt.'s disastrous earned settlement plans. Together, we shared our concerns directly with 80+ MPs. A massive thank you to everyone who joined & helped make it happen. This is just the start.

On #InternationalWomensDay, and every day, we stand with refugee women in the UK.

Our Policy Officer Rivka appeared on Talk to remind listeners that there are human beings impacted by this barrage of hostility.

📣📣 1/ We’ve got big news: RAMFEL is now Refugee and Migrant Justice. What started as a small advice service in an East London church has grown into 1 of the UK’s largest providers of immigration advice & a leading national voice standing for the rights of migrants, refugees & people seeking asylum.

📄NEW: Today, the Home Secretary has announced that from now on, refugees who apply for and are granted asylum in the UK will be given 2.5 years’ temporary refugee status. While there are still many unanswered questions, we have shared what we know so far, and what we think about it in a blog post:

💔💔💔 1/ 22 children lost their lives crossing the Channel in the last 2 years. During this period, the UK paid France £473 million and authorities used ever harsher and violent methods to try and stop people crossing. This approach has failed catastrophically. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

NEWS: Yesterday, Nelson Shardey was granted British citizenship following a ceremony at Wallasey Town Hall. A local legend, Nelson has been in the UK for 49 years, since 1977. He hit headlines in 2024 when, represented by GMIAU, he legally challenged the Home Office.

Do not abandon hope. We can win. 🧡

The conversation about housing is all wrong. For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed. Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue. Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

📢"It’s like you have to choose between settlement and surviving." Essential reading from @ramfel.bsky.social exposing how families are being punished simply for accessing the support they were legally entitled to. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
