The Comfrey Project 🧡

Having a fantastic time with @ScotswoodGarden colleagues, learning all about composting by @gardenorganicuk as part of @enrichtheearth Master Composter training. #SustainableLiving #environment #zerowaste #SustainableGardening

The public overwhelmingly wants Gov to protect everyone's rights equally. With 250+ charities and expert orgs, we've called on the House of Lords to reject the shameful #RwandaBill libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/over-260…

On this International Migrants Day, we dream of a world where everyone has the right to remain where they want to be – not because they are “deserving”, not because they are “hard working”, (cont...) righttoremain.org.uk/dreaming-on-in… #MigrantsDay

We signed @AfricanRainbow1's open letter to Home Secretary, @stonewalluk , Rainbow Migration and @AmnestyUK's open letter to the Prime Minister, and @migrants_rights' open statement, in response to The Home Secretary's appalling speech last month. #asylumisahumanright #LGBTQIA

We want to say a big thank you for these generous recent donations! Thank you Teams Life Centre for the sanitary products, @actionFdn for a donation of halal baby food, and to Jo Galloway for gifting us her surplus strawberry plants. #thankyou

Yesterday we spent a brilliant day with @IMIX_UK & campaigners from @WestEndRefugee, @WalkingwithUK & @ComfreyProject honing our media skills. We created pitches, practiced interviews, & took beautiful anonymous photos 📸Can't wait to see what these amazing campaigners do next!

🚨BREAKING: This Government's cruel Refugee Ban Bill has just passed. But if they think they’ve won, they can think again

Thank you for coming along and sharing your invaluable insights and suggestions. The best way to learn is from and with each other!

We do not want tormented children to have anything to smile about now, do we........?! What a disgrace, and what a low level to stoop down to, picking on asylum seeking children, and removing a few nice murals from a "welcome" centre...! #RefugeesWelcome bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Connected Voice facilitates the Gateshead Food Network and had a fantastic meeting today at @ComfreyProject🌱 The theme was food growing - we had a tour of the gardens and discussed ways for organisations to collaborate Email beth.reeves@connectedvoice.org.uk to find out more

This Government's had a rough 24 hours ... It's time to make them even harder and make sure our voices are heard. Message your MP and ask them to oppose the cruel refugee ban bill and stand on the right side of history👇 secure.freedomfromtorture.org/page/131052/ac…
