Disgusting that this scumbag is going after refugee organisations and charity workers. It shows why as a sector we need to be vocally opposed to the far right and not be guided by any notions of politeness! Organise with @iwgbcharityworkers.bsky.social

A shout out to our fantastic casework team (some of whom are 📸 pictured below) who help their fellow charity workers challenge work place injustice 💪. They have supported so many of us in 2024 and they are going into 2025 stronger than ever 🎉 🥳
