#EndDestitution

Administered by: @mcrcommcentral
In October, we reopened the MDF after a pause. We don’t yet have the funds to stay open year round - but thanks to your support, we gave cash grants to 169 people made destitute by the immigration & asylum system. 1/

Last week's MDF partnership event was energising!✊🏽⚡️

We heard from...

Connect Talent, our new Salford based referral partner, who shared their great work in GM.

@gmiau.bsky.social shared what's known so far about changes to routes to settlement & what's being done to fight back.

❤️‍🔥MDF Partnership in action❤️‍🔥

In what has been another painful week for so many of us, today's event was a time of unity, hope, and solidarity. We stand together. We refuse to be divided. We reject the lies and hostility that seek to dehumanise us all. 1/

✨Some of us came together recently to mark 5 years of the MDF.

While we continue to stand firmly against the deep injustices that make this fund necessary, it's also important to pause - to take stock of and celebrate what we've achieved with our partners across GM over the past five years. 1/

🙌 We are 5️⃣ today!
🌱5 years ago, in the first weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown, we were able to open the fund
🌿Today, we're reflecting on the connections and solidarity built, what we’ve achieved together, and the road ahead
