🧡 It's World Refugee Day! 🔊⬇️ Hear from 3 inspiring young mentees from our mentoring programme. We'd like to give huge thanks to the The Bell Foundation for their their support in helping us to develop our mentoring support for those studying ESOL. #RefugeeDay #ESOL

This #WorldRefugeeDay we're calling for a fair new plan for refugees - and you can too. With a General Election around the corner, now is the time to come together to reject hostility & division & stand for something better. #FairBeginsHere Get involved: togetherwithrefugees.org.uk

Wishing the refugee and asylum seeking seeking members of the NATECLA community a happy and prosperous #RefugeeWeek and thinking of all those across the world that we hope will seek settled sanctuary one day 🧡 #SimpleActs #OurHome

I've been saying this for years...
