It was great to get out on a Boaz Life wellbeing trip to Liverpool a few weeks ago with people we support. The weather was beautiful and the group enjoyed exploring the docks, Liverpool cathedral and some even sampled a bowl of scouse! ☀️

When Brktiy* shared her story with us it was clear she has a heart for people, particularly supporting those on the margins. Although she spends most of her time working, with the spare time she does have, she chooses to focus on others 🧡

Today, we launch our new data briefing for 2024/2025.
It's never been more urgent to fight for a welcoming society, where people seeking asylum, refugees and other migrants are free from destitution and homelessness and can live with dignity as part of their community.

New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

🚨 We are deeply concerned by the announcement made this afternoon by the Home Secretary with regards to routes to settlement. Making people who have been granted refugee status wait for up to 20 years before they can settle indefinitely in this country is both cruel and counter-intuitive.

📢 Volunteering must stay voluntary.
Demanding people prove a 'contribution' by volunteering ignores the incredible community work already done by migrants - especially people seeking asylum, who give up hours of their time for free while banned from work.
