Wonderful to see and hear our Board member @GulwaliP at yesterday's #RefugeesWelcome rally
It was wonderful to catch up with friends, fellow campaigners at the #RefugeeWelcome rally. Thanks to the organising team for their efforts & dedication. Thank you everyone for coming, supporting refugees, standing in solidarity with us. #TheLightlessSky #TogetherWithRefugees
One of the campaigns that is very important to UK Welcomes Refugees Is that of supporting asylum seekers into work. With the waiting time for decisions taking ever longer, people with a variety of skills are banned from work, sitting idle whilst their mental health deteriorates and they become de-skilled and lose confidence.![]()
That is before you look at what they could contribute by way of work and taxes!![]()
A right to seek work is a basic human life, just as a right to family life is, which is also denied by the Home Office under its relentless objection to family reunion for unaccompanied child refugees. ![]()
