A system meant to protect is failing children. Expanding safe routes like Refugee Family Reunion would help children reach their loved ones safely, legally and with dignity. Children need safe routes, NOT detention.

🚨The Chancellor highlighted positive steps taken so far to tackle hunger in today’s #SpringStatement We welcome these, but with 6.8 MILLION people facing severe hardship, the UK government must make more plans to tackle hunger in the upcoming Autumn Budget. 🧵

Today is UN World Day of Social Justice✊ This is a perfect opportunity to remind ourselves of our Christian call to 'loose the bonds of injustice' and keep standing in solidarity with marginalised peoples, even when it feels like there is so much going on in the world.

What justice issues can you reflect on this Lent? How can you learn more about modern worldly temptations and how we might resist them? 🏜️ "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights" - Matthew 4: 1-2

Food banks are a lifeline. But they’re not a long-term solution to hunger. Repost if you agree.

Human beings shouldn't need to "earn" settlement. "Any changes must take into account the real-world circumstances faced by many immigrants and not push those already at the margins of our society into further destitution and uncertainty." ✉️ Repost if you agree.
