Connor's story 💛

(1/3)The Home Secretary’s announcement yesterday denies people seeking safety the stability they need to make a life in the UK. Instead, it feeds the idea that people trying to make a life for themselves in the UK are outsiders rather than future colleagues, neighbours and friends. #notinourname

It's #RefugeeWeek 2025! This year's theme is "Community as a Superpower". celebrating the incredible everyday. Ordinary and extraordinary. Simple acts of shared generosity and how kindness multiplied can become an unstoppable force! Keep your eyes peeled for more information through the week!
