We asked these kids to tell us what is means to be a refugee #WithRefugees

We really need some RUCKSACKS if anyone has any or can donate towards them Thankyou

It is disgraceful to use child refugees as a bartering chip with the EU. I will not withdraw my amendment. theguardian.com/world/2020/jan…

Hey all! Everything's a bit weird! With The Railway Hotel we're sorting a virtual Soup. Video pitches, donate via paypal, Ready Steady Cook with odds & ends in cupboards (FINALLY Five Spice gets to shine!) and maybe other things - bit o music, cats in costumes..? Stay tuned...

SOUP IS BAAAAACK! Sunday 4 July, Quaker Meeting House, Leigh. Booking is essential as (for now) we're keeping safe & keeping numbers low. Event will be as safe as we can make it & largely outdoors. Book your ticket! eventbrite.co.uk/e/southend-sou…

Tomorrow's Southend Soup is CANCELLED. With lockdown rules still (mostly) in place, we want to keep everyone safe AND we want enough people along to make it worthwhile. Watch this space for - hopefully - an even in August. Still get in touch if you want to present!
