Shutting down family reunion for refugees is nothing but performative cruelty.
A wander through the wonderful Walthamstow Wetlands via canal boats, cows, coots, and cormorants.
Especially happy to welcome four new participants today— a reminder of how vital these trips are for people rebuilding their lives in London.

This weekend, our family group took a journey through time at the London Transport Museum - from the rattle of horse-drawn carriages to the thunder of Tubes. We beeped vintage horns, learned how to use old ticket machines, and got lost in the bold, barmy and beautiful old transport posters.

Wonderful to be at City Hall with @citizensuk.org standing in love and solidarity with community leaders, faith groups, and charities—united in our call for free bus travel for asylum seekers. This would allow people to move beyond survival and start rebuilding their lives #roomonthebus4allofus

While Easter is a time of hope, we know it can be a particularly hard time for those far from home and the loved ones they usually celebrate with.
We also want to remember those communities who are persecuted for their faith, and those marking the day in the midst of war.

Just back from 4 blue-skied days in the Lake District with our family group – mountains, lakes, lambs, and laughter.
A chance to rest, connect, and breathe freely.
Huge thanks to #HFHolidays and guests for making it happen through the Pathways Fund.

One of our families has been suddenly moved after a huge fire in their 'hotel'.
We're relieved they're safe. However, this highlights again why warehousing asylum seekers is so wrong - leading to unsafe living conditions and breeding division.

Many of our participants are living through the hardest times in their lives, living in limbo, far from home and family. We exist to give them a community, escape from daily fears, and the skills to rebuild their lives!

Yesterday, we shared a wonderful mother's day celebration with our friends at Stanley arts. This was a jam-packed day of storytelling, card making (written in many mother tongues), kids comedy (bum jokes galore) and scrumptious cake made by the Stanley Arts team!
