UPDATE: Lord Dubs' amendment for child refugees to the Border Security Bill was lost to a vote. But across parties, Peers spoke up for the simple right of families to be together. It's a reminder that in Parliament and beyond, people are still standing up for compassion.

A few days ago in Nottingham, residents hung hand-painted signs reading “we are kind” and “we are welcoming”.
When a loud minority is trying to divide us, ordinary people up and down the UK are showing what our country really stands for. Compassion, kindness, and community 🧡

Shoutout to Taylor, Fancy, Nilesh, Alabama & Kaina, who took on the Royal Parks Half and absolutely smashed it this weekend!
Together, they’ve already raised over £4,000, running not just for the finish line, but for a future where child refugees can find safety and be reunited with their families

These are just a few of the hundreds of messages we’ve received for refugees arriving in the UK

Two years on, Gaza is still burning – and families are still torn apart.
Tens of thousands of lives lost in Gaza and 1,200 in Israel.

This should never be normal. Children risk these journeys because there are no safe alternatives to reach safety and their loved ones.
That's the direct result of restrictive policies that leave children with no other choice.

Farzad was just 14 when he had to leave Afghanistan, alone. Like many boys his age, he risked being recruited by the Taliban, and his dad’s activism made him an even bigger target. He made it safely to France, but the separation took a devastating toll on the family.

This weekend saw one of the largest-ever far-right protests in Britain, with racist chants and slogans echoing across the country. This is what years of divisive, anti-refugee rhetoric and policies pandering to the far-right have produced.
