More tragedy. More heartbreak. More loss. Why? Because this Government refuses to budge. #SafeRoutesNow theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

After a week of appalling language and attacks on migrants' rights, share this if the politicians who try to divide our communities don't speak for you. We are not strangers. We welcome newcomers, we share and learn, we build new bonds - and we always will.

As a Manchester-based refugee charity, we see every single day how wrong the PM is. Our city is a shining example of solidarity, diversity and inclusivity. And guess what? We couldn’t be prouder. So of course we signed Asylum Matters 🧡’ letter! #SolidarityNotStrangers 👇

The PM is right to regret his hostile words. We hope he also regrets the hostile policies this speech announced. Language matters, but so does policy. Delaying citizenship & barring people from the country can't be 'articulated better': it's just cruel & counterproductive.

We agree! Make sure you get to Horizons Festival! 🤩 Refugee Action’s ‘Asylum Justice is Racial Justice’ event last night was so powerful. Looking forward to the launch of Women Asylum Seekers Together 🧡’s ‘More in Common’ exhibition this afternoon! 🧡

💬 "the programme creates a sense of belonging and unity" Rochdale AFC's Hope Football project is the perfect blueprint for getting people seeking sanctuary involved in sport. Read ours and Rochdale AFC Community Trust's thoughts 👇 connectsport.co.uk/research/footb…

Did you know? We’re conducting a study on how people seeking sanctuary can be better supported to volunteer in sports. That’s why Sarah, our Volunteer Placement Coordinator, sat down with Rochdale AFC Community Trust’s Liz Cotterill for this ConnectSport piece on Hope Football! ⚽️🧡

At Action Asylum, we love taking part in green volunteering opportunities! We are in a climate emergency and everyone must be included in the response. That's why we have been planting thousands of trees, cleaning beaches, and helping with habitat restoration all across the UK!
