Did you know children from the most affluent backgrounds are three times more likely to sing in a choir or play in a band/orchestra 🎻 than children living in deprived areas.

Check out our Creativity & Culture report, coming this Friday, for more eye-opening stats like this!

So many talented people like Sadia banned from using their skills - it's time to #lifttheban and allow people seeking sanctuary here the right to work. Oh & go see the exhibition at the Baltic if you can! 🧡https://baltic.art/what-to-expect-we-all-came-here-from-somewhere/
'I had skills, but I couldn't use them'
Sadia wasn't allowed to work for six years while she fought to claim asylum. She faced homelessness & poverty, all because of an absurd rule that banned her from using her skills.
Her story shows exactly why the ban on work in the asylum system has to end.
