Buying a stack of copies of this for the inevitable #backtoschool birthday parties has made me feel hopeful today. #TheBicycle, is the true story of Mevan Babakar and how one act of kindness impacted her life as a young refugee fleeing Kurdistan @harpercollins.bsky.social 🧡

Keen for your recommendations for best banking providers for small charities and social enterprise (functionality, customer service, ethics, and importantly ease of switch) 🙏🏼...

Up before the birds, and crossing borders this morning (only the Tamar). On my way to #Bristol and excited, if a little bleary eyed, to meet with members of Bristol #Refugee and Asylum Seeker Partnership (BRASP) working to support people seeking safety and rebuilding their lives in the city.

One of the benefits of not having an office at Trauma Foundation South West is getting to work from places like the stunning Market Hall in Devonport – even if the blitz-era fire alarm testing took me by surprise! Thanks to Real Ideas for such an incredible space for social impact work #plymouth

Brilliant work happening here by the wonderful team @refugeeaction.bsky.social
A group of cross-party MPs has launched an inquiry into the state of asylum housing – and we are submitting a mountain of evidence for it.

Will you take action and sign your name to show the government that we’ll be counting on them to act on it?
