The number of people in immigration detention in Scotland is increasing. These numbers are only half the picture as they don't include people who were previously detained in another centre.

The latest detention statistics were out yesterday . . .

Everyone in immigration detention had a story to tell, family and friends waiting for them and a life to live.

Indefinite detention hurts many people.

Knowing that someone cares and takes the time to visit #Dungavel makes a real difference to people detained there, as these quotes from people we've visited show.
If you'd like to help us keep making that difference, please consider making a donation.

We're thrilled to have been awarded a grant by Gateway Exchange, administered by @foundationscotland.bsky.social, towards our visiting service to people in Dungavel. The grant will really help us to continue to provide practical, social & emotional support to people detained indefinitely in Scotland

This beautiful paper swan, made for us by someone we visited in Dungavel, looks great in our new office with a view of the City Chambers behind it.

It’s moving day! Today we move into our new office. We’re sharing with our lovely friends at Refuweegee, in their fab new space at 24 George Square.

We’ll be unpacking and getting ourselves sorted over the next couple of days.

Exciting times!

On Valentine's Day, we're thinking about all the people in detention not able to be with their partners.

We do our best to support the people we visit in Dungavel, but it can't make up for being separated from the people they love, not knowing how long that separation will last.
