'We care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.' Great to be at the Citizens UK General Election Assembly last night - over 2,000 people representing 500 organisations across England and Wales standing in solidarity for a better future. Organised people = power.

"I’m Hannah Ling from Oxford Diocese, Thames Valley Citizens. Our churches support refugees daily & we have welcomed 207 Ukrainians with the Homes for Ukraine scheme. We want to build our #CommunitySponsorship scheme, ensuring it includes eligible refugees of all nationalities."
