We want to see destitution designed out of our immigration system. Until that happens, we'll continue to provide stable housing and specialist, person-centred support to people seeking safety. By giving regularly, you can support this work. Find out more🧡boaztrust.org.uk/give

So good to see 'Tender' at HOME last night with a group of people we support. Everyone who came really enjoyed the performance, and one man we support commented afterwards that he had 'just watched his own story.' 🧡

Big thank you to the students at WGS Juniors who were involved in creating a brand new recipe book to fundraise for Boaz! 🧡 If you’ve been inspired, you can find more ideas and info about fundraising for our work here: rb.gy/n6dp67

Our latest women's #wellbeing session was led by a doctor from the Arch Medical Practice and focused on the menstrual cycle, planning for pregnancy, health during pregnancy and the menopause/perimenopause. 7 women attended and discussed the topics together 🧡

A teenager piloted a channel dinghy. After it sank, he was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 9 years in prison, criminalised by the British government for trying to claim asylum. Read Ibrahima Bah’s story here ⬇️

Refugee actors take centre stage in this bold, revealing and provocative look at what it means to make a new life in the U.K. whilst always looking back.

Trauma and suicide in the UK asylum system

Policy Officer Will Wheeler writes about Sanwar, whose experiences in the asylum system - being detained, disbelieved, rejected, evicted into homelessness - amount to abuse by the state.

'Asylum seekers should be given the right to work after six months and granted greater access to public services, MPs have said in a cross-party report on the UK’s immigration system.'

We agree it is time to #LiftTheBan
