Yesterday we joined organisations from across the country in Westminster for a mass lobby for migrant rights. We met Devon MPs in Parliament to share our concerns about the proposed earned settlement immigration system. From Devon to Westminster: Refugees are welcome here. 💚

WE’RE GOING TO PARLIAMENT 📣 Next week, Wednesday 11 March, we’ll be joining organisations from across the country - including @praxisprojects.bsky.social - for a mass lobby in Westminster. 👉 Want to join us? Find out more and sign up: www.praxis.org.uk/mass-lobby-information

This week marked four years since the invasion of Ukraine. Anna's story was featured on BBC Spotlight last year. We are proud to have supported Anna in rebuilding her life - and that of her daughter - here in Devon, re-entering her medical profession in the UK. 🩺 🔗 www.instagram.com/reel/DVQeT58...

Earlier this month, our Education for Integration Coordinator, Rebecca, attended the South West ESOL Conference. It was a fantastic day of sharing knowledge and connecting with colleagues from across the region to strengthen support for ESOL learners. 💥 Thank you to the South West Councils team. 💚

Recent anti-immigration rhetoric in the UK and Devon directly impacts the people we support. We spoke to people seeking asylum living in contingency hotel accommodation - this is one response. Solidarity is a verb. We’ll continue advocating for refugees and people seeking asylum in Devon. 💚

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.
