Recently, we have seen an increase in protests and demonstrations outside asylum hotels, driven by misinformation and fear.

Greater Manchester Asylum Hotels Group have written a statement to respond directly to the concerns and questions they’ve heard from local communities.

1/ 🧵Family reunion is one of the only safe routes for refugees to reach the UK, yet the Gov is making it harder.
