✊Faith leaders are standing up against the government's suspension of Refugee Family Reunion. And so are thousands of people across the country. This cruel policy will only put children at risk and push refugees towards smugglers. It needs to go now. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Amazing result for one of our age disputed yp. After 9 months of casework, whilst in an hotel, finally had the decision overturned and returned back into care. It shouldn't have taken so long, and wouldn't have been necessary if the first assessment was reasonable and thorough.

For a teenager who had an amputation as a result of cancer, we worked closely with them on finding them immigration advice, housing, adaptation and welfare advocacy and supporting them back into college.

For another child with a rare brain tumour seeking asylum in the UK, we provided welfare advocacy to secure safe and suitable housing post chemotherapy, regular visiting, grant applications, and family support.

It’s #SmallCharityWeek! This week is about impact. Our referral partnership with Young Lives vs Cancer works with children who have cancer and have experience of migration. We work together to provide expert welfare advice and family support.
