“We have an international convention, the UN Convention on Refugees, we should be using to grant people safety immediately in UK if they choose to come here because they're fleeing bloodshed in Ukraine. It’s as simple as that.” Our CEO Enver Solomon 🧡 gives evidence to Home Affairs Committee

RBC voted unanimously to reaffirm its commitment to being a place of sanctuary for all people fleeing violence and persecution. The crisis in Ukraine highlights how important it is that councils stand ready. We will continue to work together to make ‘Welcome’ manifest in Reading

Today marks 10 years of the #HostileEnvironment. This policy has destroyed lives, torn families apart & fuelled appalling racism. It has caused catastrophic human harm. Our government want us to think that there is no alternative to this cruelty & division. That's BS. 1/2

Crystal & Pel are volunteer extraordinaires🔥 They help out at L2L, the refugee youth club run by Town of Sanctuary. This is a safe, welcoming space for young people seeking sanctuary, often children who have travelled all alone to the UK. 1/2

The way to stop small boat crossings is to provide safe routes so that the families risking their lives to reach the UK have an alternative. Not easy but - unlike the Prime Minister’s plan - workable, as the help for Ukrainian refugees has shown.
